PBN News: The Battle for Your Mind

[00:00:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to PBN.

[00:00:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Your path back to stability.

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_01]: PBN Family, what a day it is.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Rainy fall day again.

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: The lavender candle is burning.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: The studio is dark.

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_01]: The coffee mug is warm and...

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's not really full.

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm drinking something very special today.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And I want to tell you about it.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to talk about winning your mind.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Saving your mind.

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_01]: The battle for your mind.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Because this is a thing.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a war that is happening all the time.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_01]: To probably everyone around you.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to talk about it.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And how to win it today.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We do the Commander's Challenge several times throughout the year.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's as much for me as it is for you.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's all about this.

[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It always is.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I have an incredible Ethiopian Sedama in my cup right now.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: From DisasterCoffee.com

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Our newest coffee.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: F5.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, F5.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Aptly named.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_01]: A beautiful label on it.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It's got a little tornado rushing towards the home.

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is some wonderful stuff.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We tested it about a month ago.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Settled on the F5 name.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got our Category 6.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got our F5.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got our Pandemic.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got our numerous civil unrest.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got all kinds of emergencies and disasters broken down into coffee.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that's our thing.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: DisasterCoffee.com

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_01]: But the new F5 is unbelievable.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The new F5 is...

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's have a taste.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_01]: There is a weird taste to it.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It is the berry.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It is definitely the sort of back-end berry taste.

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The sort of...

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Little bit, almost like the tannic aspects of something like chocolate.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The tannic aspects of berry.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely awesome.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Great coffee. Wonderful. Incredible.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Lovely. Great.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: DisasterCoffee.com

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Hurricane Prep.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Look. This is the thing guys.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: No matter what happens in the next few days,

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_01]: The United States is getting hit with a hurricane.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And the hurricane is going to run up off the...

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to call it the East Coast,

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's going to run up through a lot of the Southeast.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And now is the time.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a fast moving storm.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to give you a weather report,

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: because I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm watching it. I'm watching it very closely,

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: because of its path.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not going to affect my state or my family in particular,

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's going to affect a lot of things.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Now is the time.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_01]: By time...

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: This time tomorrow,

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: particularly if you're in Florida,

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: it's going to be go time.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So now we figure out what it is we can do

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_01]: while we have a little bit of time.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know the...

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be too late in Florida already.

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: People could be out buying all the water up already.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Looks like the panhandle is probably going to get it.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is...

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I have to assume this is nothing new,

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: particularly if you're in Florida,

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_01]: particularly if you listen to us.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But now is the time to shore those things up.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Back up power stuff.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Also to shore up evacuation.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably one of the best things you can do

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: is ponder evacuation and say to yourself what...

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the unknown is what we have to go off of now.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We have the unknown.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Could it spin up real fast into something powerful

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that I watched a report today that said a Category 3

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: when it makes landfall?

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It's no joke.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But what if it doesn't?

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What if it turns into a Category 4?

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going over very warm water,

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: very little impedance.

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_01]: What if it spins up to a Category 4

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and then smashes into the panhandle of Florida

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and we have a Michael again?

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Was Michael 4?

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember, but it was bad.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So one of the things to ponder is the worst case.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The worst case, we get out of here.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Where are we going?

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Do we have gas to get there?

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Do we have money to pay for it if we're staying in a...

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_01]: If we're going east,

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the best bet for people in Florida right now

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_01]: would probably be to go east.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all those things.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Now's the time.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Now's the time.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So wrap your head around that

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_01]: because it's real.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: What's up, Garden Girl in the live chat?

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I got Element open

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_01]: because there's all kinds of cool stuff

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: going on in Element at all times.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I see the Drudge Report is dead.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's over.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's finished.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked at the Drudge Report today.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of times I'd pop on the Drudge Report

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: before a show and give you information.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It's over.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: There's 10 stories in a row

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: about anything concerning Kamala Harris' reign of power.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So to me, it's a compromised news site.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's over for me.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not something I'm going to visit anymore.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And I oftentimes,

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and I want to apologize to...

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to apologize to the folks who post in Element.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The folks who post in Element,

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_01]: there's three stories in our World War III bunker.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_01]: There's two stories

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: in our tinfoil helicopter landing pad.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_01]: There's all kinds of stories

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: that are littered throughout this thing

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: that I haven't even read yet.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Or I've seen them and not given them

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: the time that they deserve.

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know,

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: it's one of those things where like...

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And it all has to do with this concept today.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: We overthink everything.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01]: We have this amazing, powerful,

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_01]: incredible, unstoppable brain.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And we burn ourselves out overthinking everything.

[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_01]: We're always overthinking.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We're always this and that and the other thing.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: What happened to...

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you like that.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'll plan to do a thing.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'll think six steps down the line

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: what that will mean to the people,

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: the person,

[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_01]: what will they think I'm thinking?

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: What will I think when I think

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_01]: of what they might think that I'm thinking?

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And before you know it, you're in this rabbit hole.

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: With everything that's going on,

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_01]: we have to be very careful about these rabbit holes.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to welcome in some new Lifetime members, by the way.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to welcome in some new Lifers.

[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I sent an email blast out yesterday.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_01]: There is a link to Lifetime membership down below.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: For the next...

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: What do we got?

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Three, four, five, six days.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: For the next six days,

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to be offering Lifetime membership to all.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Get it while you can.

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: If it goes haywire, you know...

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, whatever.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So you got six days. Let's go with that.

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Lifetime membership, $250.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a lot of money.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: You can pay in half now, pay half later.

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We're working that angle out too.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: If you want to pay in silver, I'll take it.

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not opposed to it.

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: If you want to pay...

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: If you want to make an offer, make an offer.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Have fun. Let's have fun.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Life is short. We're all going to die.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There's no doubt about it.

[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: We're all going to die.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: There are people around me right now suffering, man.

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: There are people around you suffering.

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We see the tail end of life.

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: We know what the hell it is.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Fundamentally, I want to get the bills paid and have a good time.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And my good time doesn't mean, you know,

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: swilling whiskey and screaming into the...

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: and barking at the moon.

[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not my kind of good time.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't want to sit here and explain my kind of good time to you either

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'll tell you right now,

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: like a blank page with a blinking vertical line,

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: a blank white page on my computer

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: with a blinking vertical line,

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: a lit candle, a cup of disaster coffee,

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and like two hours of free time,

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_01]: that's just as much a good time to me as almost anything else.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Truthfully, just write something, anything.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_01]: No responsibility, no deadline, nothing.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Just open up that whatever opens up,

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, that creative portal that exists in your head somewhere

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and let it flow.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Love it!

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So anyhow, link down below, lifetime membership,

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_01]: one-time payment, done for good.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Unless you want to split it into two, completely understandable.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Many of you have reached out. I really appreciate it.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a testament to what we do here,

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: our incredible audience, our incredible hosts.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, you know, it is what it is.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about the battle.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about the battle for your mind.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been feeling strange lately.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Overwhelmed, fundamentally.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, been feeling...

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Life, like the routine of life has changed.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_01]: My focuses in life have changed a lot.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of variables, a lot of changes,

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: big things on the horizon.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We got Prepper Camp now bearing down on us.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_01]: That's been on my mind for two months.

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Just started, you know, broke the business up into three parts,

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01]: brought Andrew and Phil on.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, it's been a lot, you know?

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And what happens when you're in a lot

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: is you start to think a lot.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And you start to think about yesterday and tomorrow,

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and not enough about today.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You start to ponder yesterday and tomorrow.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, one of the things about

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_01]: the phone addictions and the computer addictions

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and the VR addictions and the video game addictions,

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_01]: right?

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_01]: The screen, what the screen does

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: is gobbles up the here and now.

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what it does.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: The screen forever gobbles up the here and now.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: If a parent has a screen, what are they doing?

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They're looking at news, they're looking at DIY,

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: they're looking at tomorrow, fundamentally.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You can utilize a phone in that way

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01]: to live in tomorrow.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe you're into history

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: or you're reading about things that haven't happened

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: in the past, conspiracy and so on.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: All your time is then spent in yesterday.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You're living in yesterday or you're living in tomorrow.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Same thing with video games, right?

[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_01]: One of the trickiest things video games ever did

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: is they created milestones and achievements, right?

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And they even reward you for these things.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, you play X amount of games,

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: you get this free hat for your character or whatever.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: So again, you've got the kids in the same mentality.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: The same idea, I'm living in tomorrow,

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I gotta get through this game,

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I got three more after this,

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I'll get that reward.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not just kids either, it's plenty of adults

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: who are fighting in video games for rewards.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm one of them.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm playing a Warhammer game right now,

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_01]: it's so much fun, it's unbelievable.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's the same thing.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't knock anybody.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't demonize anything fundamentally around technology.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, number one, we created it, right?

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And number two, everybody knows it now.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody's like, huh?

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: These technologies are addicting, right?

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody knows it.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And if we are to move forward as a species,

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_01]: we have to figure it out.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We have to figure out how to regulate it.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_01]: If our kids are to move forward in the society,

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: they also have to figure out how to regulate it.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, as parents we have to show them

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: how to regulate it.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, they've got to find that part

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_01]: in themselves too.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Because you won't always be there.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You're not always going to be there,

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, get out of that damn phone.

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually they're going to be sitting in an apartment

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're going to be like,

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: ooh, I've got a bit of a tummy ache,

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe I should call out of work

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and spend the day grinding on this mobile phone game.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: That's their challenge.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Every generation has a challenge, right?

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's all part of the deal.

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It's all part of the package.

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But what are we talking about?

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about the future now.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about tomorrow.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_01]: We're worried about yesterday.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We're worried about tomorrow.

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't sustain that.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the problem.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Not only can you not sustain that,

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_01]: but then your instinct also tells you,

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I spent the whole day today worried about tomorrow.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And now today is gone.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So now I've got to stress about that.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And if today is gone,

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_01]: well sooner or later it'll be tomorrow

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I'll be worried about yesterday going bad.

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Because of the information at our fingertips,

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: because of the things that we can do

[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and we aspire to do,

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and because we are at such an incredible

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: peak moment for humanity,

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: never forget it.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we have incredible things going wrong in this country,

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_01]: amazing things I never would have fathomed.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Amazing things that if you could just take the body cams off police

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and let them do what they need to do,

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot of it would really stop.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Hard to believe.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: You talk about crime and gangs

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and all this kind of stuff.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_01]: If we gave them electrified batons

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and took the body cams off,

[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they could probably turn things around

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: in a lot of these cities.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You might not like that.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That might make you feel some kind of way, I don't know.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm just telling you, these are the facts.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You show up to a nation

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and the cops have to pussyfoot around,

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: they're not allowed to do what they can do

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can do whatever you want to do.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You can kick them while they're down on the ground.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Well guess what's going to happen?

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: What you see happening is exactly what's going to happen.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But if the cops treated these Venezuelan

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: and Haitian and whatever gang members

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: the same way they treated the Irish when they arrived,

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_01]: with a billy club over the head

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: when they got drunk and disorderly,

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_01]: then yeah, people stay in line.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: See we make believe that in America fundamentally,

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_01]: this is our problem with crime, fundamentally in America.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We think because we've abandoned men

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and masculinity that we can't import it either.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We think that men are evolving to a higher form

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: where violence and aggression and all that kind of stuff

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: is just going to go away.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And we make believe that this stuff is real

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: until we see it on the internet or television

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we go like, oh!

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And instead of being like, oh yeah, that's part of the deal,

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: some people need help getting that out of their system.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We go, oh God, I wonder what happened to him as a child.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Can't be his fault.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: You want crime to go down, get rid of the body cams.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Wrap your head around the fact that

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: not every cop is out to just shoot minorities.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Because guess what guys?

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_01]: If all cops were just briefed on how to shoot a minority,

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: there'd be a lot more dead minorities.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It would be a thing.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, that's my take.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I would never want to be surveilled doing my job.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I would do it terrible.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_01]: If I put a live cam on my laptop here

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and did my show and did my writing

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and then worked out and did all kinds of stuff

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and had the camera follow me the whole time,

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: no thanks.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Why do you think we don't do video here at PBS?

[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I like the audio.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big fan of the audio.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So what we have to do

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_01]: if you want to battle for your brain,

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: if you want the battle for your mind to be victorious,

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_01]: if you want to understand that

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_01]: we're living in a time where there is chaos.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It is a beautiful time.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: We're living in a time, in a moment in history,

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: where almost every level...

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not that every level has threats for the first time.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not that the kids are in danger

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and the elderly's in danger

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: and the population's in danger.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: This is humanity.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: This is human life over the course.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The dangers are different.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The dangers are less.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably the most dangerous thing to a child nowadays,

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: in all honesty, to their life is them.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: That's where we're at.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not like roaming bands of monstrous creatures

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: are going to show up and just macerate children in the streets.

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: The greatest danger to a child nowadays

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: is likely himself or herself

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: because that's the society that we've built now.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, life gets hard.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_01]: That emergency exit looks kind of nice.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So we have to recognize that

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: the threats and the issues and the calamities

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and the chaos and the problems it needs solving

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: are just part of the human condition.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We can't think our way

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and worry our way out of these things.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So what we have to do is step outside of it all,

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and this takes practice.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Step outside of it all and look around, man.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to look around at the world

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and how it's happening.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Look around.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Look at the candlelight flicker

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and say, oh, that candlelight is flickering

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_01]: right here and right now.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the only thing,

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: the only jump you have to make from there is

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_01]: this is my real life.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: This is my real life right now.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Me talking into this microphone with you

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_01]: with this great coffee, this is life.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Life is not what might, could, should happen

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: in the next two weeks, five weeks, two years,

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, 60 years.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: This morning I was driving.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of old people in my life

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: going through a lot of struggles right now.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Not like necessarily tied to me by family or blood,

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: although that's some of it,

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: but there's a lot of people who are getting to the age

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: where the worst things in the world

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: are happening to them.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Death is staring them in the face.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: They're losing people who have propped them up

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: their whole life, spouses.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I was thinking about?

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And this idea just flooded into my head.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I said, you know, I really hope that

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: when my sons are older they have someone

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_01]: to take care of them.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I grabbed a hold of that thought

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and I started thinking like, dude,

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: what are you doing?

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You are jumping forward 60 years

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: to worry about something right now.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You are taking a 60-year leap

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_01]: to find something to worry about right now

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: rather than enjoying the moment.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And we're all guilty of that.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: We all do that stuff.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: We all spend time like, oh my God.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_01]: The whole network, right?

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody is worried about what's going to happen

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_01]: in November.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And many people will worry their way through October

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and be like, what happened in October?

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I was too busy thinking about yesterday and tomorrow

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: that I didn't spend any time in today.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you this and we're doing this show

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: because I've been doing this.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I've gotten away from prayer too much,

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_01]: especially during the day.

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: My night prayer is always good.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But I've gotten away from a lot of that,

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: meditation and prayer.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I've gotten away from right now is happening,

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: here and now is happening.

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's because I'm busy, you know?

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm waiting for this to happen,

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: waiting for that, hoping this, praying,

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: right?

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And you get to that point where it's like,

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: you forget.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: You forget the most important thing.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the flickering candle.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the reminder that this is what's happening now.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the snoring dog behind you, right?

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the cooing baby in the bassin,

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: whatever situation you're in.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the crackling fire.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And when you hear those things happening

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_01]: in the here and now,

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: you have to make that jump, like I'm telling you.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That jump.

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_01]: This is my life.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: For some people, you know,

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I get to jump into this life

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and this is a really nice life.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you all.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Some people make that jump

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and they wind up in hell.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: They come out of whatever it is they're doing

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and they go, oh my God, this is my life!

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And I got news for you guys.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Like if you're one of those people

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and you're saying to yourself,

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I got news for you, man.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You got two choices.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_01]: You can avoid your sucky life

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: or you can stare your life in the face

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and say we're gonna change it.

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And guess how we change it

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_01]: in the here and now?

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't change it tomorrow

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_01]: and you don't change it yesterday.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You change it in the here and now.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Follow me?

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I know, it's a lot.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's heavy.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is what I do.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That nub says podcast addictions.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's funny, man.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're a thing.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about it.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything has addictive properties, right?

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_01]: The only difference is

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_01]: some people get addicted to good things.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a ton of people

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_01]: who are addicted to making money

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and we look at those people

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and we go like, God, look how rich he is.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He's so successful.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Or you could be like a person like me

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_01]: who's addicted to a lot of physical pursuits.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And you can be like, man,

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: he's really in shape.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that helps.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's part of it.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But he might also be really addicted

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: to running in the woods

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and listening to audio books.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Prep and Patriot in chat says

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm one of those people.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Satisfactory has me hooked.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a thing, man.

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a thing.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's not a thing

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: until we make it a thing.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Then it becomes a thing.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: If we can look at it objectively,

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: like that nub, right?

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: That nub saying podcast addictions, right?

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Prep and Patriot's looking at it objectively.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: If you can look at it objectively

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and you say like, oh, I'm doing that too much.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I need to do that less.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you do it less

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and then you're like, oh,

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: that's the end of that.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's what happens when you start dreaming

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and daydreaming and oh,

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna keep doing it.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And what happens in five years

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: if I'm still doing it?

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What happens if I'm, right?

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: You take no action

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and you just live in the future.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_01]: You just live out there.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It all comes down to driving,

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_01]: getting back in the driver's seat of your brain.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to get back

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_01]: in the driver's seat of your brain, right?

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Sad Guru's a guy I like to listen to.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I've taken a long break from him too.

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't ask me why.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard how things get knocked off course

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_01]: in life and you don't even realize it.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But I haven't been listening to him a lot.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: He really helped me in 2020, big time.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But he had an old phrase that he would say.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: He would say,

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: money in the wallet is fine

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and sex in the body is fine.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Only when they get in the mind

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: do they become a problem.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's a great way

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: to look at two really big parts

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_01]: of people's lives that they spend

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_01]: all kinds of time worrying about, right?

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a reminder of that.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're thinking about it too much,

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: you're probably thinking about it too much.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know guys,

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: but we have to be aware of this stuff

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_01]: because it's a crazy time.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: There is so much to think about.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're raising a family

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: or if you have a large family

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: or if you have things to worry about

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_01]: that are familial and family related,

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_01]: you already have a world of things to think about,

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to worry about, all of the above.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: This age of information that we're living in

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_01]: where we can find out like,

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: so what did Ukraine do yesterday

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and what did Israel do today

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and what happened in Italy

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_01]: and what happened in China and Russia

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and China were running,

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: what kind of military drills were they running?

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and Russia launched a Satan 2

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and it didn't work out?

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like 50 states of news, right?

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: All that stuff,

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: it just puts you in the yesterday or tomorrow mindset.

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what happened yesterday?

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, you wouldn't believe what happened yesterday.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, what could happen tomorrow?

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's think about what could happen tomorrow.

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And then before you know it, it's 10 p.m.,

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: you're going to bed.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And you're like, what is my life?

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_01]: What is my life?

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like what the hell is going on here in this life?

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I forget.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And add to that cacophony like candy crush,

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what I mean?

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Or words with friends,

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_01]: you know what I mean?

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_01]: You add to that several addictions slash distractions.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And before you know it, you don't have a life.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have a life.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You have yesterday, you have tomorrow

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and you have distractions and dinner

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and laundry and bed.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So my goal for you PBN family

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: is to smell the roses today, okay?

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Check out the leaves.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: The world's beginning to change.

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Look in your backyard.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_01]: They're on the ground probably in many places.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Watch the flickering candle.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen to the kids snoring in bed.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen to, you know what I mean?

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_01]: The things that are happening in our life now.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Drink the coffee and just drink the coffee.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Stand there or sit there with your mug

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and sip the coffee and think about it.

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And go, oh my God, what is this?

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I see.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of profile in this.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the profile of this coffee.

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot going on.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And enjoy the sweetness of life.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Because if you're not enjoying the sweetness of life,

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: then what are you doing?

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I was gonna talk to you.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Where are we at here?

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I get on these topics.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just, whew.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So Prepper Camp this year

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_01]: is gonna have its challenges.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_01]: There's no doubt about it.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We did a whole show on it last night.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_01]: The closer this hurricane gets,

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: the more minimalist my setup is going to be.

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things that I'm gonna do

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_01]: is to probably precook some food.

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably precook some stewy, soupy goodness.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess I'll probably buy a sleeve

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: of like styrofoam bowls and spoons

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_01]: because I will share.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That nub says, gather ye rosebuds, man.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about it.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly right.

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Gather ye rosebuds.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It's very important.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: While ye may.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_01]: What's that?

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: What is that? To the virgins?

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a, I don't,

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't off the top of my, Robert Herrick.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_01]: To the virgins to make much of time.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Old time is still a-flying.

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And this same flower that smiles today,

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: tomorrow will be dying.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Who just, I just heard this thing.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Did I read this?

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I read you this one

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_01]: or if I just heard somebody read this one.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_01]: One more because it's really good.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_01]: The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_01]: the higher he's a-getting,

[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_01]: the sooner will his race be run

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and the nearer he'd be setting.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: All the way back then.

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_01]: 1674, Robert Herrick died

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and he also understood like carpe diem, baby.

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe you know what?

[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I did watch the Dead Poets Society the other night.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's where I heard it.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyhow, thanks, nub. That was nice.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So I want to talk to you about a commander stew

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we'll call it a night.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_01]: A little SHTF chef for you guys.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: A little SHTF chef.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have the old, or do I?

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Do I or don't I?

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see if it comes up with L

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_01]: because I did create a specific soundbite for this

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and it is kind of fun.

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go to 50.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go to 50 and run the SHTF chef soundbite.

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Now that is a delicious cut of long pork.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so SHTF chef, commander's prepper camp stew.

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_01]: This is what I have in mind

[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01]: on a rainy day like this going on.

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Going into a rainy evening.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Or into a rainy week, rather.

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Something's telling me lamb,

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: but it'll probably be beef.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Though lamb stew meat is really good stuff.

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Something about the red wine and the lamb

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_01]: when the weather's like this is

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: there's perfection in it.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: But for me, you know,

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: the way these things kind of pan out,

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_01]: the way they work out in my head

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_01]: is a nice big Dutch oven or big pot

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_01]: to do what you're doing.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: High heat, hard sear on your meat,

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: be it diced beef or diced lamb or whatever.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Sear, drain your fat.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Keep your fat, by the way,

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: but drain your fat, remove the meat

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and then sweat.

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: The sweating process begins

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: in a stew like this.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I will do onion,

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_01]: garlic, plentiful garlic,

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and carrot.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Diced carrot, sliced garlic,

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_01]: nice and thick slice too.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I want a slice of garlic in my bowl.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want it to be minced and disappear.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to be like,

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: oh, look at that big slice of garlic in there.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So over a pretty low heat,

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_01]: you're going to start the sweating process.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: There's fond on the pot at this point

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_01]: because you've seared the meat

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and fond is just that kind of burnt on,

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: not burnt but browned on residual meat in the pot.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: The onions will begin to release moisture,

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: the carrots, all that kind of stuff

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and some of that fond will come off.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Season those vegetables, salt and pepper.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You season at every level.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So you season your meat,

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: you season your vegetables, boom.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: After we get the sweating process finished,

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: what's the sweating process?

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_01]: How do you know when it's done?

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: You're not browning anything in a sweat.

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You're sweating it.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You're releasing the moisture

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: and you want onions to go translucent,

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: garlic to get soft,

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_01]: carrots to become a little soft

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and then you're going to deglaze

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_01]: the whole thing with red wine,

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_01]: see when comfort food is required,

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: it's when you go as French as possible in my opinion.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So copious amounts of red wine

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and reduce, maybe reduce by about half

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and then add equal parts beef stock, lamb stock, whatever.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Add your lamb back in.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking to this you could do like a white bean,

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_01]: that wouldn't be bad.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But what I'm thinking is probably more along the lines of potato,

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe like a red skin, you know, red skin potato.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably some sprigs of rosemary

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and let that thing rock.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's about it.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, oh, you know what else too?

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe like a handful,

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe like 10 or so black peppercorns

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and let that thing rock.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Until your meat is, you know, super tender,

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: potatoes cooked through, carrots cooked through.

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Carrots can be like a little mushy.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind them like a little getting ready to be mushy

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and then it's on to the roux.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's on to the roux.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how you do roux.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I've done, I've talked about roux on the SHTF Chef before

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's just essentially a butter and flour mixture.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you melt the butter,

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: whisk in the flour, let it cook for, you know,

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: 30 seconds, something like that

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: depending on what kind of roux you're doing.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: For me, it'll be a 30 second to a minute cook.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll remove it and then I'll take,

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: once the roux is hot and off the flame,

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll start to take a ladle of my cooking liquid

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and add it to the small pot with the roux in it

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and that will thicken up almost immediately.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'll do another ladle

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I'll do another ladle until I get a,

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_01]: something that I can pour back into the stew.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Take the stew off the heat,

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_01]: add the roux-y, gruel-y mixture right in

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and then whisk it or whatever I gotta do.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably not whisk too vigorously

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_01]: because you have, you know, meat that could come apart

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and all that kind of stuff

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_01]: until it thickens.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You'll watch it thicken and say,

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_01]: okay, here we are.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Then we've got this delicious thickened,

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: roux-thickened beef stew or lamb stew

[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: with carrots, potatoes

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: and then at the very end,

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll probably do more chopped rosemary,

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: chopped fresh thyme.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Put it in a mason jar once it's cooled down.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the stew is one of those things

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that if you can avoid eating it that night,

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_01]: you're better off.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Like chili, you know.

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I make chili sometimes the day before

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's just better.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's better the next day.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I am like in a pot pie mood too,

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_01]: but I don't know how I'll pull that off on the go.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. That might not be.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_01]: There are some ways that you can do it.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: One of the ways you can do sort of like

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_01]: an on-the-go pot pie

[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_01]: is you can puff puff pastry lids

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_01]: for your pot pie.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You can pre-cook puff pastry, right?

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, you gotta know what you're serving it in,

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_01]: but you can pre-cook the puff pastry,

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_01]: put it in a Tupperware container.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, like cut puff pastry into circles

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_01]: the size of the bowl that you're gonna eat out of.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe just a little smaller, right?

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks, nub! I appreciate everything, my man.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I will talk to you soon.

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You pre-cut and pre-cook the puff pastry.

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you make your pot pie filling.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Put that in a mason jar, right?

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you can bring that stuff up to a simmer,

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_01]: put it into the bowl.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You take your pre-cooked puff pastry top,

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: sit it into the bowl of hot filling,

[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_01]: and give it five minutes.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: The bottom layer will start to get soft.

[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_01]: The top layer will still be flaky and delicious,

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can have a sort of a quick pot pie.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_01]: No oven, no way to do that kind of thing.

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The garden girl says she's got some pot pie filling

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: of her own pre-canned.

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the way to go, man.

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Stay ahead of the game.

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, folks!

[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I hope you enjoyed today's show.

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I hope you stop and smell the roses,

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_01]: gather ye rose buds,

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and I hope you prep for this hurricane.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're in the path, take it seriously.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Take it as an opportunity to test things and so on.

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And since the massive geomagnetic storm back in May

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_01]: that brought the Northern Lights to Texas,

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: more and more people are paying attention.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Faradaycontainers.com has some of the largest

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and most fortified EMP protection on the planet.
