PBN News: What Lies Ahead

[00:00:04] You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability here.

[00:00:58] Looking at what's ahead, what threats to prepare for, how to make life better. Taking a peek at the new additions. As I start saying life, what makes life better, one of the things that makes life really great is going outside and getting your own eggs. Especially when eggs are like, I saw eggs, like run-of-the-mill supermarket eggs for like six bucks a dozen the other day.

[00:01:22] And it was like, wow, that, you know, I know that America's gone through a bunch of these ups and downs with the price of eggs. And when you have chickens, you just don't realize it. You don't even notice it because you don't buy eggs. And you could apply that to everything. You know what I mean? Almost. You could apply that to a lot of things. That whole sort of we're doing it, we're making it, we're, you know, we own the process.

[00:01:49] So I'm not thinking about it. So today, morning, Jay Ferg. Today, I am turning to one of the great resources of the Prepper Broadcasting Network, which is, his name is Michael Snyder. He is a author, a guy who has driven me crazy many times.

[00:02:13] This is his website, the economic collapse blog.com. I think he, the other website he runs is called the news that matters or something like that. But you look up Michael Snyder, you'll find him. I have followed the guy for a very long time. He does a great job of putting information together in one place from different sources, varying sources, you know, into one article.

[00:02:41] So you can read that article and go like, OK, I'm developing an understanding of this situation. And what is up, Hunter? How's it going? Jay Ferg in chat says, I realized something big I forgot last night that aid is being returned to WNC and the U.S. disasters. Disasters. Did you do that? Was like a Freudian slip, Jay Ferg. A lot of a lot of big things.

[00:03:08] You know, if you're not if you're not abreast to what happened with the inauguration and the changes coming to the United States, you could watch our show last night. We we titled it a resuscitated republic. That's what it felt like to me. That's what it felt like to me watching the inauguration. It felt like somebody was finally rendering aid to the country, the country that had been. Well, it was a reflection of the guy running it. Right. Joe Biden. But I don't want to get into that stuff today.

[00:03:37] I do want to talk about what's on the horizon. I want to make sure that everybody here today understands that now is the time. Now is the time to keep pushing. Now is the time. Why is that the case? Because the good must have power. The good must be powerful.

[00:04:01] I know that sounds goofy, but you just I'll give you like the alpha and the omega like the most powerful must be God. Right. That's the only way anything but chaos and horror can flourish. And then like the smaller example is a feeling I got. Well, and then you see like what's happening with what the things that Trump are doing. Right. One of the core things that Trump's doing that I think super important.

[00:04:30] Good morning, garden girl. Man, chat looking good today. It's just the sheer good, like the sheer empowerment of the good, the empowerment of the police, the empowerment of the border patrol, the empowerment of the military. And along with the empowerment, the identification of the evil and saying, look, I understand you've had your day. You've had your time to be the monsters that you are.

[00:04:56] Now we're going to put some real force behind law and order and the good. You know, I was watching the I don't do NFL talk or NFL references very much, but I was watching the the Eagles over the weekend and they had a defensive lineman named verse who.

[00:05:19] You know, was just being very open about his hatred for the Eagles fans, the fan base, and look, we're not easy to get along with. So it is what it is, but he was just, you know, going out in public and saying, you know, just hateful stuff like I hate the green and white. I hate the Eagles fans. They're the worst all that kind of stuff.

[00:05:37] So and he wound up in a foot race with the incredible Saquon Barkley, an absolute lightning bolt of a running back who if he gets space, there's just no chance you're going to catch him. And all around the league, you know, Saquon is known as really like one of the most standup guys in the NFL, like really just a good guy.

[00:05:59] And there was a moment in the game where it came down to Saquon broke out and, you know, he's going to get a touchdown. Nobody's going to catch him and verse is the last guy behind him and Saquon turned and I don't know what he said, but he slowed down, you know, because he's so fast and versus a big line or linebacker. I'm not sure, but he slowed down to sort of converse with this guy before he got to the end zone knowing there's no way you're going to catch me.

[00:06:26] And I got this overwhelming feeling, man, that was like. The good must be powerful, like we the people who have that kind of power, that kind of speed, because he's you know, it plays across all avenues of what I'm talking about, like the good must be powerful and. You can't stand still, do you know what I mean? You can't you cannot stand still in this life.

[00:06:53] If you stand still in this life, if you find yourself in a situation where you're nestling into the goodness and the warmth and the comfort of a Donald Trump presidency because you think everything's going to be fine. I mean, I just think that the evil will surpass you. I just think that that that that gives, you know. As powerful as you think Trump and his contingent are and as capable.

[00:07:20] It's like I told you last week, you know, the nation is a reflection of you and me more than a reflection of Donald Trump. The fire will forge is upon us in chat. Welcome. How are you guys feeling today, man? What's going on, chat? Tell me what's up. We're going to talk about these five historic emergencies that Trump will be confronted with immediately as he returns to the White House. This is a reminder. Look, this is a reminder to stay on the ball. We all know there's challenges.

[00:07:50] But like I said, yesterday was a day of celebration. I didn't see it. I was worried about all kinds of things going wrong. And midway through the day, I said, oh, I need to celebrate today. Like this. This is a big thing. Freedom rings across the land and the world. And I wasn't playing that game. But let's take a look. Because we need to know what lies ahead. In all honesty, all honesty, I haven't even read this thing. See, I'm at a point with the economic collapse blog.

[00:08:19] I've read so many of this guy's articles. Sometimes I don't even read them. I know there's gems in there. If it's complex, I'll read it and find where I want to go. So number one, the number one thing that the economic collapse blog says Donald Trump's going to have to deal with is a major war. And he starts out with Iran, which which I have remarks about Iran. Iran, Iran's gotten extremely close to being able to build a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapons.

[00:08:53] And his his sentiment is very similar to a lot of ours. Right. Which is they'll distribute them to Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies. The the nuclear program has to be destroyed in Iran. There's no there's no getting around. They don't need it for energy. They got all kinds of oil. President-elect Donald Trump is weighing options for stopping Iran from being able to build a nuclear weapon. That's assuming they don't have one already.

[00:09:17] I kind of feel like they do a move that would break with the longstanding policy of containing Tehran with diplomacy and sanctions. Here's the deal. The military strike option against nuclear facilities is now under more serious review by some members of his transition team. Here's the deal with Iran, guys, that you have to understand. Iran is a Kumi Ori Farm. What is up? Good morning. You're over here in Rumble land.

[00:09:49] I like seeing all those rumbles, by the way. I do. I like seeing those rumbles, man. It's OK to be on YouTube and to have their permission to talk to you. But I'll be honest with you. I do like the rumble contingent. It just feels better. You know, it's just you feel like you're amongst people and not amongst the lizards. Here's the deal with Iran.

[00:10:18] There's a bunch of people doing things that they shouldn't be doing right now. China blockade tactics around Taiwan, Russia invading Ukraine. Right. All this kind of stuff is going on. And there are nations who are doing things they shouldn't be doing. Iran. Unfortunately for them, they're in a situation where we rely on them for nothing. And we're not afraid of them at all.

[00:10:47] In other words, they don't have a nuclear arsenal. Like if we go to Russia and say, we're going to we're going to bust that ass. You know what I mean? If we go to Russia and tell them this is what's about to happen, we have to factor in some things. We've got to say, all right, well, they got nuclear weapons, too. You never know how crazy it could get all that kind of stuff. Right. There's a level of kind of, you know, tenderness there. We've got to be smart. We've got to be strategic. We've got to be strategic. Not that I don't think we could handle Russia. I really.

[00:11:17] Yeah. I think one of the most underestimated things in the world is the American military. I just don't think people have seen it in a long time at full force. That's just me. I know a lot of people think it's run by idiots and populated with people who are transgender only and all that kind of stuff. But I do think. Yeah. And after watching Russia's performance against Ukraine. You know, gives you a little bit of confidence.

[00:11:48] Same thing with China. You know, China is an economic. China has such deep economic ties with us still that there are massive consequences to saying, look, here's the red line. And if you cross it, we're coming. Huge. And not just for us, but for the world.

[00:12:06] Now the world has to deal with a China that is like, oh, OK, well, maybe we'll get a little isolationist or even if we were to destroy ports or destroy things, manufacturing, it's going to affect the entire world. The world's going to look at the U.S. and say, hey, now I can't get any medicine. I can't get it. You know. With Iran. We don't have anything. They don't. They're not part of our economy. We don't import anything from them. We don't.

[00:12:33] And if we were to blow them off the face of the planet, not many nations would be like, oh, man, I can't get that good Iranian whatever. You know, the biggest exporter of Iranian oil is China. One of the biggest allies of Iran is Russia, which means. They're this target that we could slap around without consequence largely. And I think we're going to do a lot of that. I think that's going to happen. You know what I mean?

[00:13:02] So that's sort of my take on on Iran. Number war, number number war. Number two, a new pandemic. This must be bird flu, H5N1. Amid an escalating bird flu outbreak spreading in the United States, federal health officials have begun to brief members of incoming Trump administration about how they responded to the crisis so far. H5. H5. Here's the thing.

[00:13:30] Here's the story on H5N1 guys. OK, there's potential for H5N1 to be a big problem and kill a lot of people. If it starts spreading between human to human contact. Right. It hasn't. Doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare for it. Doesn't mean we shouldn't be worried about it. But we have to be smart. We have to be careful. We have to understand what the hell is going on.

[00:13:57] Did we don't want to be snow plowed back into our homes with masks on, shivering, terrified, doing whatever the government says again. Right. Dave Jones really summed it up a lot for me. Kumi Ori Farm says. And Jay Ferg also says that Trump left the WHO yesterday.

[00:14:23] Kumi Ori Farm says pry my chickens from my dead hands. That's a sentiment I can appreciate, you know, excuse me. Yeah. You could have my chickens when you pry them from my dead hands, my cold dead hands, as per the rifle quote. Right. Charlton Heston. Man, how right was that guy? So. Yeah, we got to be smart about the pandemic thing.

[00:14:49] The pandemic is this buzzword they say and get you to look right pandemic. Oh, let me read it. Let me look. What are they doing? Can I put a mask on? Can I yell at people for not wearing masks? There's a group of people out there ready for that. They're ready to be the mask police again. It's the vaccine police again. So, you know, that could be a thing. I'm not sure if that is high on my list, to be honest with you, when I think about the things that Donald Trump is going to have to deal with in America at large is going to have to deal with. But. We went through a pandemic.

[00:15:19] Right. We know there's some things about a pandemic, you know, you're going to manage fever. Right. You're going to manage fever in almost any kind of pandemic. You're going to manage loss of fluids and that kind of stuff. Put those things in place now. Liquid IV. Liquid IV is one of the biggest difference makers in my life when it comes to fitness and when it comes to illness. I go right there in the summertime.

[00:15:46] I train really hard in really hot weather in Richmond, Virginia, and it gets hot as hell. Hundred degrees. And I love it. But there's a difference. I mean, there are consequences if I don't hydrate. Right. You know what I mean? There are. I mean, legitimate consequence. It's like pain, dehydration, suffering days, days, days long. It can be sometimes headaches. You know, it's not good. And then you're undoing all your hard work anyway. So you can put stuff in place like liquid IV or some sort of hydration.

[00:16:16] I just use use liquid IV and tell you about liquid IV because I know it works because when I come in from a tough workout and I take liquid IV, I'm good that evening. That evening, I'm good. I don't feel anything. If I don't take it, I can tell the difference. Same thing when I'm sick. If I'm sick, high fever. When I was sick, I had brutal fevers over the holiday. All liquid IV. I knew I was good, you know? So.

[00:16:42] Kumi Ori Farm says, aren't they just rigging the test to show bird flu? I have no clue. But what I do know about bird flu right now, here and now, is it's non transmissible between human beings. So that's the key. Right. The way you can stay ahead of it. Pandemic preparedness. OK, backup antibiotics to fight alternate infections. The Preppers Medical Handbook. Where are you at?

[00:17:11] The Preppers Medical Handbook. Matter of fact, I got a media asset for the Preppers Medical Handbook that I can show you. It doesn't have. It doesn't have the audio yet, but I could show it to you. Why not? The Preppers Medical Handbook, our longest standing sponsor, literally the longest standing sponsor since we've I've taken over the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Is a manual that it's just phenomenal.

[00:17:41] For a number of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is the size of the thing. Where you at? See, it's one of those books I always touch. So it's always in different spots. If it were a book I didn't read, it would sit here and sit here and you wouldn't. It wouldn't be that hard to find. The Preppers Medical Handbook. By William Ford. Oh, here it is.

[00:18:10] You guys can see it right now. You can't see it on the street. The Preppers Medical Handbook. William Fordy. MD. Look at it. You see a book like this, a medical manual, and you're probably like, I don't know, it might not have the information. Dude. It's got all the information. And not only does it have all the information, but if you go to PBN family.com and go to build your medical cash, it's in the nav bar.

[00:18:40] This book's there for sale. And every over the counter item in the book is also there for sale. So if you have no medical preparedness whatsoever, you can go from having nothing to having a manual and everything in the manual that's over the counter. Just like that. We got links to it. I didn't create the list. He created it for us. Garden Girl says, I have Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy's book too. They're great. Absolutely great.

[00:19:11] Dr. Bones got great stuff. You know, one of the things before I knew about this book that got me really excited was the Alton's antibiotics. Like tell me about the dosage of antibiotics. Antibiotics are not magic, right? You take a dose dependent on your size based on what it is you're treating. I wanted that information. This book has it. This book has it in its in the back of the book here.

[00:19:38] How many you should have all kinds of stuff. And I mean, one of the other great things that this book has, he calls them modules. And this book has these modules, these like an RX, non RX oral medication module, RX oral topical medication module.

[00:20:01] This is all the off grid medical kit, RX injectable medication module, cardiac medication module. And these modules are lists of all the stuff that you need to treat. You know what I mean? To treat that situation. You want to see the, you want to see the little deal I made up for them? We're going to put some audio over it, but check it out.

[00:20:35] Not bad, right? Not bad, the fork. I'm really big on these, taking advantage of the visuals here. For those of you who are listening in the podcast audience exclusively, it was just a visual video commercial for the Preppers Medical Handbook. You know, it's the only downside to doing a podcast about preparedness that wasn't visual was I can't show you stuff. You know what I mean?

[00:21:04] I could talk about stuff, but I can't really show you stuff. Imagine the old lady in the woods tells you to eat some moldy food and boom, better in a couple of days. Fire will forge penicillin. There you go. Yeah. I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you. It's a lot of this stuff. We were forced to learn a lot of this stuff. That's what makes it kind of fun. So the economic trouble. Now, this is probably what I would put at number one.

[00:21:31] If I had wrote this article, I'd probably put this at number one. There isn't one factor. Now, Michael Snyder says inflation starting to really accelerate once again. There isn't one factor. Bird flu is killing chickens, cutting egg supplies. You can solve that, right? See, this is what we have to do as preppers and homesteaders, survivalists, whatever we are, neo pioneers.

[00:21:56] What we have to do is look at the problems that we can solve and solve them. Get them off the books. So that when you hear the conversation about egg prices and egg killings and bird flus, you just say, I don't know. I'm not worried about it. It's off my back. I don't think about it. Extreme heat, dry weather in the world's coffee growing regions have sent the cost of brews surging. Look, go to disaster coffee dot com.

[00:22:24] Buy a five pound bag of bunker beans. You can even subscribe. Now we have a we have a subscription service at disaster coffee so you can buy bunker beans, which are five pound bag of green unroasted coffee beans. Right. It's 40 bucks and you can buy those. You can stick them in five gallon buckets, pile them in there just like I do. And then again, I got green coffee beans from two years ago, maybe three years ago.

[00:22:54] That I can roast, bring them back to life, grind, make coffee. I don't know. I mean, I'm going to buy coffee at the higher price, but I'm living off coffee from the old price. This is where you got it. You got to get here. You know what I mean? Chocolate and cereal makers have raised prices for their products, too. I mean, cereal is really not that good for you anyway. And chocolate, you know, spend spend some money on good chocolate. I don't see a problem with that.

[00:23:23] Chocolate's not this thing that you eat every day, is it? I mean, I don't. It's a problem for consumers who are still acclimating to a stretch of bruising inflation following the COVID-19 pandemic. Shoppers are picking up more store branded groceries and scouts. Look, if you're worried about inflation, the cost of food, the number one thing you should be doing is getting in cookbooks. OK, you should be in here. Jay Ferg showed off an amazing cookbook to me last night, not on the show. It was incredible.

[00:23:51] It was the tin. What was it? What's the name of it? Jay Ferg, the tin, tin recipes, tin recipes is it called? What was it? I think it was called tin recipes or something like that. And it was all about tin fish, tin fish. It's called tin fish. And tin fish is just a recipe book of all the different things you can do with canned fish.

[00:24:21] The tin fish. Thank you, Jay Ferg. Learning to cook cuts costs significantly and immediately. Especially if you're eating out all the time or if you only know how to cook like one thing, like I cook rib ice. That's what I'm good at cooking. That's what I cook. And I'm losing my pants because I can't afford them. Learn to cook other stuff. You know what I mean?

[00:24:46] We have weeks where we eat really well in our house and then we have weeks where we eat peasant food. I mean, not that it's not delicious, but you know. Being able to do that kind of stuff, being able to make bread, like being able to make, you know how many times I've made bread in the last few weeks just out of coming out of Christmas, saving money. Cold as hell out. I want to turn the oven on. And I just want some good bread.

[00:25:16] Like, and I don't even pay to make bread. Bread is free now because the flour stored. We store the olive oil. We store the yeast. You know what I mean? Again, we're living off this food storage from years ago. I don't go, oh, I got to run out and buy yeast. I got to buy flour. I got to buy salt. I got to buy olive oil. I got to buy bread. I got to buy bread. It's a non-issue. It's all here.

[00:25:43] You know, the bread prep is probably worth drilling down on. The bread process, the bread prep might be a, that might be a member's, that might be a member's piece of content that needs to be built out. In other words, what ingredients do you need to stockpile to make sure that no matter what else happens, you can make daily bread? You know, we did the bread challenge over the fall. I hope you guys participate in it.

[00:26:12] Even if you didn't do a bread every day, just the sheer practice of bread is, you know. But if you want to get out of a situation like economy, you know what I mean? One of the biggest things you can do to save money is cook your own food. During the campaign, President Trump repeatedly made the promise that prices will come down. But according to two experts, that won't be happening anytime soon, at least when it comes to eggs. Again, none issue. Get chickens.

[00:26:39] Well, and if, look, now's the time if you live in a locality that says, you can't have chickens. No, no, no. They're too loud. You tell them, we want six hens in the backyard. We'll keep them contained in a coop or in a fence or whatever the situation is. And that's what we want. And if they balk at that, you say, all right, well, then we will pay a fee. We'll get a chicken license or whatever. You know what I mean? Make it happen.

[00:27:08] It's well worth it. It's well worth it. It changes your whole lifestyle. You know what I mean? All of a sudden, you're in this new head frame when you have chickens where it's like, oh, I'm producing food now. Like not just growing radishes and tomatoes. Like I'm producing protein now. It's a game changer. Eggs are 40% more expensive. What else we got? Disasters. A historic natural disaster.

[00:27:36] L.A. is bracing itself for more catastrophic wildfires this week. More than 27 people have died. I'll tell you what, like if this really tops out at like under 50 people having died from those fires. I think I'm going to take back what I said about evacuation and all that kind of stuff. Because you watch that apocalyptic situation unfolding over there. And I don't know.

[00:28:05] I don't think that's such a bad deal. What does bread with my champagne yeast taste like? Hey, give it a whirl. Let us know Firewolf Forge. That sounds like a definitely sounds like a. Oh, Jay Ferg is going to put the tin fish on our Instagram if you want to see it. And Garden Girl says I got the King Arthur's bread book for Christmas. Oh, wow. Yeah, I'm sure that's great.

[00:28:34] Garden Girl is making English muffins today. Look, one of the things that I read. I was a really into you guys remember that the naked chef Jamie Oliver like I wanted to be him when I was young guy. In like like before my 20s. And. I really read. I have all of his books there behind. There's some right behind me. You can see him. Whatever you feel about the guy. He's a Brit. He's a lefty.

[00:29:00] I mean, whatever it is, like some people have the experience and the skills at a certain thing, and he has them when it comes to cooking. That's all there is to it. And I'm telling you, man, like one of the things he said in the naked. Happy days with the naked chef. He has a section about making pizza dough, and I did that change my whole bread making process because I started making pizza all the time.

[00:29:28] But one of the things he said, man, in that book is I've come home and made pizza in eight minutes. And. That put everything into perspective for me, if first of all, challenged me to do the same thing right now, I'm not saying he was done cooking pizza in eight minutes. He he meant he can make a pizza dough in eight minutes, like ready to go. You know what I mean? And then we make the pizza and cook that put everything into perspective for me because I lived in this mentality with dough as like a.

[00:29:58] A line chef. You know what I mean? A guy who saw tays and grills and all that kind of stuff. I lived in this headspace where baking and making dough and all that stuff is this big, lengthy process. And when we did it in culinary school, it was a big, lengthy process. We make the dough, put it in a proofer, let it prove, you know, and in your own head, you might think that way. You might think making bread is going to take me all damn day. Making bread can take you like 10, 15 minutes, the dough.

[00:30:28] So rise it, shape it, put it in the oven, bake it for as long as it needs to bake. But I'm talking about the hands on process, the mess, all that kind of stuff. And it just it's a game changer. So the other thing we got is a government, a government at war with itself. Yeah. I mean, we're definitely going to see that. There is no doubt about that. We are going to see a government at war with itself. All right. Let's let's look inside the cash, shall we?

[00:30:56] I've got something for you here. Let's see. Can you see it? Oh, how did that work? We've got something very interesting here inside the cash. The first thing we're going to do is make this big.

[00:31:17] Boom. Now, if you're concerned about a Trump presidency, if you're concerned about urban chaos, one of the things I always say is that urban survival begins and ends with access. Right. All the chaos begins and ends with access. This is a thumbprint lock from the home security superstores linked down below. OK, now, look, you actually program.

[00:31:47] I got to turn it so I get it right. You actually program. You can program multiple thumbprints into this lock. So it's not just some kind of thing that you put into play. And dude, this thing costs 15 bucks. I'm pretty sure. Don't quote me, but it is not expensive. Might be 18. It's not it's not one of these things that you got to spend two hundred and fifty dollars on.

[00:32:13] When I'm talking to you about the home security superstore, I'm talking to you about things that you can afford. But it's pretty cool, man. Like I said, I can program my wife's thumbprint into it as well as mine. So it doesn't have to be one of these things where maybe you have a hidey hole cache somewhere and only you can open it. Maybe you have a lock on a mesh test, a repeater box and only you can open it. Now, this thing works for multiple thumbprints.

[00:32:43] But it's good and it's fickle like it. It won't give it to you unless you do it just right. I keep this locked up right here so I can show you guys because I think it's super cool until I figure out where it's going to go. I bought a couple of them. One of them is going to go in my gym bag because it's perfect for that. But yeah, the the stuff that's out there now, man, it's crazy, you know, and and the home security superstore link down below.

[00:33:12] They they got so many cool solutions. You know what I mean? I will send you a link, Jay Ferg. I'll put a link in the chat right now, actually. What can I put a link in the chat right now? Maybe not. I will. I'll put it. I'll put it up on Instagram, too. I'll put this clip up on Instagram also. But I'll send you a link directly. Don't worry. Sorry. Yeah, it's it's linked right down there.

[00:33:41] The home security superstore is linked down there in Rumble. You might have to right click it. Kumi Ori. They got great stuff, man. You know, I in all clarity and transparency, the relationship with the home security superstore has been them emailing me every three months for two years. And me saying I can't do an affiliate thing right now. I don't have the time. I don't have the space. Right. And all that kind of stuff. But we worked something out this year.

[00:34:11] And and I said, you know what? You guys got the products. If you can help me out a little bit, I'll get them in front of my people because, you know, they work. And like I said, 90 percent of your concerns in terms of civil unrest about Donald Trump and about Donald Trump's policies like it comes down to access. You who control it and you, you know, you deny it and you gain access.

[00:34:38] That's the thing you have to control access in urban survival. You have to control access in civil unrest. You have to control access in economic collapse because then people are coming to take things out of your sheds and out of your crawl spaces and wherever they can get something they're going to get. Right. So you have to dominate that access. Now, look, this thing. Well, it is what it is. We're not to talk more about about the lock. What else do I have to talk about today? Let me look at my notes.

[00:35:11] Oh, great review. This is also linked down in Rumble and YouTube. Great review from L2 Survive, one of our great listeners. Great review on the new Olight clip. I don't know if it's new. I'm a big Olight guy. Olights are awesome. Phenomenal lights, flashlights. This Olight clip is a utility. It's designed to, you know, stick it in various places. You can do things with a light source in the dark.

[00:35:39] It's, you know, we have a guy who knows his stuff. He does reviews on gear. If you're one of those gear hungry people in the Rumble, it's down there. Link, you can go check it out. Give him a follow. Give him a thumbs up. Tell him you're here because, you know, the folks at PBN sent you over there and it'll make him feel real good because he's been a long time listener. Listener member the whole nine yards, you know. Are you member yet? You're absolutely insane if you're not a member yet.

[00:36:09] And I can tell you right now, 20, 25 is likely to be the last year. If we make it a full year, that membership is going to be 60 bucks a year because it's too big. It's absolutely insane. Now I got Jay Ferg sending me stuff. We got Firewolf Forge doing stuff on the membership side like Dave Jones not long ago.

[00:36:30] We have the dream that I had about membership is starting to happen, and that is the collection of the PBN hosts participating in content creation. It's so much. PBN family dot com. Join today. Oh, and by the way, if you say I don't got 60 bucks, you could join for five bucks a month. Five bucks a month. You're crazy. If five bucks a month, everybody who's watching and listening to this should join for five bucks a month right now.

[00:37:00] If you're not, you listen to this show about what's coming, the things to worry about. If you're going, oh, man, I got to tighten up five bucks a month. You will be tightened up if you if you get in there and take advantage of the stuff and do it right. Like I always say, I can lead you to water in this prepping thing. I can't force you to drink or I might wind up drowning. What else do we got? I think that might be it, guys. I think that might be it. I am on the outro going to bring up.

[00:37:31] Our great sponsor, Pack Fresh USA, for those of you who are into the. For those of you who are into the. Food storage, which you're insane if you're not another crazy thing, right? Firewall Forge says five dollars a month less than a mocha Java latte. Firewall Forge is a lifetime member. He is a lifer here at PBN. But yeah, man, super cheap. Take my wife to Starbucks, man.

[00:38:00] I got to pay double a PBN membership to get out of there just for drinks, just for drinks, latte and whatever the hell else. Yeah, it's crazy. People spend that stuff like nothing. Put it. Get signed up. Like, seriously, there's so much there. You can reach out to us, ask questions about what's on there. We got fitness, bushcraft. We got entrepreneurship. We got all the preparedness stuff you could ever imagine. Food storage, homesteading. It's all there. But one of the biggest things for me, guys, has always been food storage.

[00:38:30] And our amazing sponsor, Pack Fresh USA. They do their, you know, made in America products made in the USA. Seven mil Mylar bags. Absolutely the best of the best. Seal from the bottom. The best of the best stuff for putting away food storage. Uh, you use the combination kit and you buy the combination kit and you get multiple sizes of bags.

[00:38:54] You get tons of oxygen absorbers, a heat sealer, everything you need to take rice, put it in a bag, store it on the shelf for 20 years. It's the whole beginning of the show. I was talking to you about flour and store it and beans, coffee beans and store it long term. These are the people who do it. These are the people who I use. Pack Fresh USA. Get to know them. Okay. The links down below. You use that link and you and you buy something through that link.

[00:39:21] Um, and you can get your hands on, uh, one of those combination kits for free. A bunch of my books, some herbal medicine books, a big pack of goods goodies coming your way. So check them out. Use the link down below so you get it right. Um, I guess all that's left to do is a nice outro, right? The show is, is called. The show is called what lies ahead.

[00:39:51] And when I say what lies ahead and we do a show like this and talk about what Trump has to deal with in the future in the coming days, coming months, it's easy to say that, man, like I sure hope he's ready. I sure hope he's strong enough. But what lies ahead truly for you is all up to you. It's for you to decide. It's like I always say, you are what you do every day.

[00:40:22] Craft this year, 2025 in a way that you continue to become the thing you want to be. And that thing should include strength and self-sufficiency to whatever degree you're willing to, to, you know, uh, access that strength and self-sufficiency. These things, we have to be stronger as people in order for the nation to be strong. Donald Trump's 80 year old man. You know what I mean?

[00:40:52] And putting everything on this guy and assuming that he would the stroke of a pen and the, and the, you know, the brashness and the, and the intelligence of Donald Trump is, is going to make us all free and happy for the rest of time is setting yourself up for failure. It's setting yourself up for disappointment. No, the key is for you to become stronger every day.

[00:41:18] It's, it's for you to work on just the things that we work on in our, in our routines, in our PBN daily routines, we'll be dropping a new one in what? 10 days, February routine, the deep winner, the commander's challenge will be out in February. The, the, this is a tough one. The commander's challenge is a tough routine because it is all hands on deck to get me through February. Cause I hate it. I hate February.

[00:41:47] It's too damn cold. There's nothing going on. It's brutal. Yeah, it's not, it's the worst. So we go deep into meditation. We go deep into scripture and those kinds of things. And it's, uh, yeah, it helps. Right? So you are what you do every day folks. And we need you to become powerful. Don't lose sight of that. Don't lose sight of your self-reliance goals. Don't lose sight of your preparedness goals. It doesn't matter who's in office, right?

[00:42:16] We can become stronger every day. You can become the person you want to be living the life you want to live, but it takes looking at your daily life and saying, what, what do I need to change? What do I need to improve? What do I, you know, you will decide what lies ahead for you and your family. That's, that's everything. You know, that's everything. Enjoy the rest of your Monday folks check out. Oh, it's Tuesday. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday folks.
