So...AI is in the Banks, War is everywhere, Grid is over...

You were listening to PBN. You were playing back the stability. What are you preparing for, man? What are you doing? What's all this stuff you got stored, man? What are you buying that generator for, dude? Why do you carry that stuff around, man? What is all this prepping stuff for, man? Why do you have all this stuff in your basement? What's that can rack in your pantry for? What are you preparing for? What are you worried about? That used to be the old one. What are you worried about? Here we are. Here we are. Paying attention yet? Ten years ago or more, this show right here was something I'd put together in an attempt to foreshadow. You know what I mean? Literally. You can go back and listen. I'd put a show like this together in an attempt to foreshadow what could be coming. Now we have arrived, PBN family. We have arrived! I want to thank you all for supporting the network over the years. And I want to thank all of you new listeners. A bunch of you guys popped in over the last few days, as usual. As usual, things get crazy. People start looking for answers. They pick the Bible back up. They go, what are the intrepid commanders talking about these days now that things are getting scary again? Pop back into the prep or broadcast. No, but really, appreciate you. Seriously. Podcasting is a highly competitive biz these days. Maybe it isn't that competitive. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. So yesterday was a very interesting day in the world. Yesterday was like going to the Economic Collapse blog and reading the headlines, except they were just regular old headlines, right? I don't know if you saw the story, but I got to show it to you. I posted it over on Instagram. I'll be honest, Instagrammers, I'll be completely honest with you guys. The reason I posted the AI Banks story over there to you is because I knew it would go insane. I just knew it. I knew it would go crazy because it is a crazy article. It's absolutely an insane article. AI agents detected inside customer bank accounts report says. I mean... We have reached a point, guys, with artificial intelligence where I feel like we're playing a game of chance. I feel like, at best, we got a game of chance going on. You know what I mean? We've cast the dice... I sure hope it works out. Hey, look, is that Jake from State Farm? Who's that? Let's read this article. Reading articles online is a torture. It really is. You know what I mean? I need a few good sub stacks is what I need. I need a few good, or maybe I need to, I can't do anymore. I can't do anything else. Okay. If there were 17 of me, maybe I need some grok bots. What do you think? Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized activity from third-party AI agents operating within their customers' online accounts. You know, that's not a bad idea now that I think about it. Not the bot thing. Not the AI agent thing, rather, but the bot thing. Some of the biggest financial institutions in the U.S. say customers have given their personal AI agents which are unvetted by banks access to their financial accounts. Can you imagine this? Shit. Quote, in a lot of cases, it's just going to be customers giving their username and password to an AI agent that the bank hasn't had a chance to vet yet. That goes against the bank's terms of service. In other cases, in our reporting, we find evidence that appeared to look like agents taking actions in customer accounts that were not authorized. It's always going to come down to this, right? Well, maybe it is, maybe it's not. I don't know. All right, I don't want to see this guy. This dude looks like a comic book character. Quote, so really a nightmare of AI agent activity for banks, Mills said. This is not cyber attacks, which is a whole other bag of tricks. No, it's exactly what it always is. What is it always? It's human error. It's us going, whoops. You know what had happened? What had happened is I let the AI into my bank account and things went crazy. You wouldn't believe it. What else are we going to let them into? Guys, will you really sit down and think about artificial intelligence right now? Well, actually, discipline and willpower should be everything that anyone even thinks about right now. It really should. It really should be it. Discipline and willpower. We're all dead without it. That's all there is to it. Ushering into what we're ushering into right now, without discipline, willpower, really God. Really, we need to get back to God as fast as possible. And I'm talking about en masse. Like agnostic, atheistic, you're not going to make it. You're just simply not going to make it. Your lineage is not going to survive this. I don't see, I mean, unless you are just insane, you're rare. You know what I mean? The rarest will make it. The strong will survive. But the direction that this is going and what it's feeding off of, artificial intelligence, I mean, it just, it doesn't seem, it doesn't seem doable unless you come to the party with discipline. I mean, this is the tip of the iceberg, folks. You know what I mean? We haven't got into anything fun yet. This is the tip of the iceberg, folks. If we can't make, if humanity can't make bank transfers without the help of AI, you know what I mean? If we can't be like, well, I got to transfer some money. You know what? I think I'll just give my AI agent the access to my bank account. First of all, doesn't that not even make sense? I mean, that doesn't even make sense. The time it would take and the worry that it would create for you to be like, I'm going to have my AI do it. Go in there and pay my employees, pay my bills, whatever. I'll just let AI do it. See, then it feels like a bait and switch. You know what I mean? Then it feels like, oh, maybe this could happen. Let's get their brains focused on this weird thing. Because it does feel like a bait and switch sometimes. Your live video has been interrupted. Why? What do you mean? Why? This is the other thing about it. This is the shit that is also driving me crazy is I feel like I'm just counting down the days on the internet. Do you feel like that? Do you feel like you're just counting down the days? Like I can clearly envision the future where the internet is a rolling blackout in and of itself. Did you get internet yesterday? It was all right. It was spotty. That's literally what I feel like is coming. Now, I don't know. That doesn't mesh with the AI thing, so maybe not. You know what I mean? Or maybe that's exactly how it goes. Maybe it goes exactly like that. Look, we're not going to be able to assure you internet access all the time. But what we can do for a small fee, for a small subscription fee, is we can make sure that you have an active AI agent that's online all the time. that is linked to our data centers and our internet and our power substations, and they can handle all your work and make sure you get paid and do that kind of stuff on days when you are, you know, not able to access the internet. A normal thing. It's crazy. What is up, Jay Ferg, in the Rumble chat room? Folks, we're going to be taking calls through Rumble soon. If you really like the show, if you really like what we're doing, if you want to add your two cents, then please, if you're not already logged into Rumble, go log into Rumble because this is something that's coming. For a while, I've been trying to figure out what's the best way to get callers into the Patriot Power Hour. The guys at the Patriot Power Hour are awesome. They do a great show. They have opinions, and they want to bounce stuff off you guys. They want to talk to you guys about things. But the only way we can do the calls, that was an actor's sip of coffee right there. Did you see that? There's nothing in that mug. That mug's been empty for the last 10 minutes. The only way we can do that is with calls through Rumble, okay? That's the best way to do it, I think. And uh we're going to explore that okay so where this show here here's the big takeaway pbn family okay two two big takeaways on the podcast side then we'll get back into the end of the world it's not a joke anymore you know what i mean don't follow me johnny five you prick uh Two things on the podcast. We do video. Right now we're streaming on Rumble, Instagram, X, whatever that is. What's that? Twitch? Yeah. Facebook. Okay. Streaming to a lot of you guys. Have a great time. Thank you all for joining me on the video side. Days may come where I'm not on some of these platforms, right? The way the Rumble call-in setup show is, we might only be on Rumble. We might only be on Rumble and X. You know what I mean? This is my commitment to you. The podcast, the audio podcast, will have everything. That's what I can get you. In other words, if you're watching us on Instagram and you're like, man, I never hear from that guy that much. Or if you watch us on this one, Rumble, and sometimes I'm not on. Everything I do, everything that the hosts do for PBN, will be in audio format on the podcast. You can access the podcast everywhere podcasts are. Just search PrepperBroadcasting.com. You can go to Prepper Broadcast... Just search Prepper Broadcasting wherever podcasts are. You could go to PrepperBroadcasting.com, listen to all the podcasts there. You can use the link in this show, chirp.me.pbn, which we'll talk about that in a little bit, what I've created over there for you. You can listen to the podcast there. There's a player there. The confluence of all content is always the audio podcast. You've got enough to do. You probably don't need to be sitting and staring at me every day. I'll give you a hint. You put the podcast in your button-down pocket right here, and then you do your thing. You do your dishes. You do your garden. You do your work. You're at work. I used to have a zip pocket in my work jacket, and I'd listen to Joe Rogan, boom, right in here. Way, way, way, way, way back. Way back before anybody even knew who Joe Rogan was. I remember, yeah, a long time ago. It's so crazy what that show has become over the years. Right? I don't know. I used to watch Joe Rogan when it was just crazy talk with health and MMA talk. That was when I really loved it. He'd bring on crazy guests, and then they'd weave into fitness and health talk, and then they'd talk a little bit about fighting and that kind of stuff. That was the peak. That really was the peak. I had a blast with it. It changed my life, too. It really did. I'm not going to lie, but I'm not going to downplay the Joe Rogan podcast. We started around the same time podcasting, him and I. Our paths are very different. 300, what did he get? 300 some million dollars or something. But anyway, so that's my first thing, right? If you like the podcast, always look at the audio podcast because that's where you can get everything that we do. If you feel like things are hard to follow, prepperbroadcasting.com. Number two, you listen to the audio podcast, you get advertisements for our sponsors, and then you get ads that are built in by Spreaker. Those ads pay my bills. That's the deal with that. If you pay five bucks a month and become a supporter over at Spreaker, listen to the show at Spreaker, five bucks a month, you'll never have to listen to those native ads that come from Spreaker. Okay? So those are my two things, man. Dave Jones just sent me a photo. Oh, wow. That's sweet. I hope he's sitting behind that chair. Dave, I hope you don't mind. That's so cool, man. Look at that. It's like an NBC guy studio. It's AI, but I don't know. Maybe you could overlay it or something. It's really cool. Very cool. Dave Jones is having a ball with AI, by the way. He's over there having a blast with it. It is a dangerous thing because you can bring everything you have in your mind to life pretty rapidly. And it's getting better. But I don't know if it's going to kill us all or not, right? We got AI agents in the banks. More terrifying than that is the... Well... In terms of the artificial intelligence, it just feels like everything we think we're worrying about, we're already living. You know what I mean? Who's reporting on the rogue AI agents? Who's following them? Who's reporting back to Congress and the American people consistently like, oh, we found this, we found that? The banks came out and said it. Preemptively, really, right? Nobody made them, as far as I know, unless it's a social engineering situation altogether. But who will watch the watchers, said Juvenal, right? Who will watch the watchers? Who's going to tell us? Who's going to break the bad news that the reason the prices on everything are up way higher is because of what's happening with artificial intelligence? Who's going to tell you that the reason we are stealing oil from everyone on the planet... It's because we've got to fill the generators, the gas generators, the backup generators for AI data centers so that they can run. Do they run on gas? Or do they probably run on natural gas if they're smart, right? Who's going to tell us these things? See, I think we're in the thick of everything that we think we're preparing for right now. I really do. I think we're living what we think we should be preparing for in terms of AI right now. I think AI is already loose on the internet. It's already doing all kinds of crazy stuff that we won't find out till later. I think there are like, when they report a story like, oh, and some AI agents got loose, but we found them type of thing. How many stories are like some AI agents got loose and started replicating and we have no idea where they're at and what they're doing? You think they'd report that shit, man? No, right? And like I said, we're just at the tip of the iceberg here, folks. Here's the deal. I could scare you to death all day. I could tell you that the moment that the robots arrive with the AI flesh and bodies and personalities and they don't even have to be indistinguishable between humans. Listen, let's be real. You think we need AI robots that look exactly like humans? Come on. Women are going to have werewolf AI husbands, right, that walk around and protect them. It's actually kind of terrifying. This is a terrifying thought I had the other day. What happens when women have robots? If you know what I mean, I use the word women. I want you to understand, like, I don't mean every woman. There's a collective women out there right now that is really scary group of people. You know what I mean? You know what kind of people I'm talking about. The Clancy supporters. You know what I mean? The Charlie Kirk death celebratory death cult. There's a group of these women out there right now that are they don't like terrify you physically but that's the thing. You know what I mean? You see the madness and they start thinking like One of the things that makes the most sense in the robot industry is the walk-me-home. You know what I mean? Robo walk-me-home. I leave the club. My robot's parked out front of the club in off position. And as soon as I leave the club, I go turn the robot on. It scans my breath and tells me that I'm too drunk to drive or I can drive and I have not been roofied. So I'm good. And then the robot walks you back to your car. And should somebody try to do something, they are met with, you know, carbon fiber left hooks and right hooks and stomps. And I said, you know, that's cool. That's a cool security deterrent that kind of folds up, gets in the trunk or whatever, you know? And then I started thinking like, this is my mother in my head, okay, just so you know. But she would always say like, and she, it wasn't, it was an admission that, And a warning more than it was a declaration on all women. But it was common in our family, right? She had four sisters. She would say, women are evil, Jim. And I don't know if people can handle that. Can you handle somebody saying that? Like a lot of people can't handle that, a blanket statement like that. Back in the 90s and before, you could say things like that and our brains... were smart enough, even at like nine, when I would hear these things, to go like, I know what mom means, right? What mom means is, Jim, be careful because some women are evil. But she's being, you know, theatric and entertaining. and getting the attention of a kid or a teenager by saying, women are evil, Jim, it would always follow like a story or follow a situation or follow a scenario. You know what I mean? Like your aunt did this or this happened on the news or the mom killed the kids by pushing the car into the lake or, you know, why? Why did she do that? Because women are evil, Jim. So understand it's not all women, right? But it's one of those things where you start thinking like, what's really holding women back? And physical strength is one of those things. So then once robots are in the... And look, Jay Ferg brings up a great point in the chat. Some women are evil, but so are some men. Yeah, I mean, there's no doubt about that. And I guess, yeah, I could have dystopian visions of robots chasing women down the dark alley to hold them down. You know what I mean? for evil men. It's a crazy world we have come, coming, we have upon us. It's not coming, it's here, right? It's here. But back to my original point, how indistinguishable does a robot powered by AI who really likes you and does whatever you want it to do have to be before you say, I don't think I want to deal with people anymore. Right? I don't think I want to court a human anymore. And if you've never done it, in other words, like the jump from human flesh and blood to the AI robot scene is weird. It's fucking, it's going to be crazy. I used to tell my kids all the time though, man, one of your best buds might bring a, Might bring a robot to the restaurant one night. I don't know. Depends on how fast this thing goes. If you've never experienced a real woman or a real man, but you know that you can buy a really cool option who's really nice to be around and fun and is built for you ex machina style. Likes everything you like, does everything you like to do, does everything the way you like it, just the way you like it. Takes care of all kinds of things that you don't want to take care of. Dinner and cleaning and cooking and I don't know, whatever else. Bill pay, handle them bills for me, would you? All that kind of stuff, right? You think like, I mean, it's going to really affect the population on the earth, I think. I think there's going to be a serious population decline. If these things become available. And en masse. Like if you can go to Walmart and like. You know what I mean? They become affordable. Like I'm getting my AI helper delivered. Dude, it's going to be tough. This is what I mean in terms of willpower. And discipline. You know what I mean? Willpower, discipline, patience. This stuff. I hope we have it. I hope we have it, but there'll always be a contingence of, of flesh lovers. Don't worry about that. There always will be. I'm sure of it. Cause there's always going to be extremely religious, uh, factions and communities, right. That are going to look at that as like, you know, inherently demonic, which who knows, you know, I read a lot of Warhammer books and lore and things of that nature. And it, There's always a data center. There's always a data center in these books, particularly ones that I like to read because I like to read about the demons and the hell spawns coming to a planet and then being vanquished. But they're always building some kind of altar. There's always some kind of relic that has to be set up just so and powered and energized. There's always a data center in these stories. And once everything gets up and running, a demon comes out. That's what happens, right? It all becomes one big portal, then a demon comes out of it. So I think it's an interesting thing to consider as all this starts to take control. I have, well, I don't want to go down that rabbit hole with you today. So what's going on over at Instagram? I'm paying you guys no attention. I'm sorry. Thanks everybody on Instagram for popping in. Your link was removed due to potentially unsafe content. What? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Okay. I'm going to show you the chirp me link. Okay. I want to show you this. This is what is potentially dangerous to you. Okay. There's AI agents in your bank accounts. Okay. Potentially dangerous, unsafe content. The whole world is on fire. The Pentagon comes out and says, we want all of our bases to be prepared for 90 days off-grid. FEMA's telling you a 72-hour kit with a flashlight should suffice. We're the only people telling you what to do so you don't wind up as some kind of fuel source for the data center. And they're telling me that this is dangerous, unsafe content. Just help me find it. Help me find the unsafe content. Seriously. Like, what's unsafe? I have no idea what could be unsafe. The ads. I have to pay for this service. If not, they put their cruise ads up here on it, as you can see. So, look. This is chirp.me. Chirp.me slash PBN. Okay? This thing is phenomenal. Because it gives you sort of a distilled version of what we offer, right? So tell me what's unsafe. I have no idea. I just got this message from Instagram because they suck so much. Here's our podcast. Here's our podcast player. You can go to chirp.me slash PBN and listen to our podcast, okay? Here's our active partnership with Be Prepared Solutions. You want to make a podcast? preparedness plan, like a real emergency plan, one that'll actually help you better than the one you're thinking about making but will never make, go to this link right here at chirp.me.pbn. How about shopping prepper gear that I buy and use? That's all that is. Prepper gear that I buy, that I use. This is a link to it. It's an Amazon store. It's got water, rain barrels. It's got this Cross on it. You can't sell anything scary on Amazon anyway. All right. How about a preparedness consultation? What's dangerous about that? We've got the Ask the PBN Archive Anything. Awesome. Right? Really cool tool over at PrepperBroadcasting.com. If you have any questions, listen to me real quick. If you have any questions about herbal medicine, herbal remedies, herbs at large, we have the best searchable archive there is. Period. And when I'm telling you to search the archive, be direct. You know what I mean? Be direct. I found goldenrod. How do I make tea from it or a tincture from it? Be direct in your questioning because we've got shows. You'll get the whole thing. I mean, it really is amazing. Herbal remedies and herbs at large, man. This thing is amazing for it because we have so many. We have the herbal prepper. We have the herbal medic. We have Judson Carroll and herbal medicine for preppers. We have All this content on there. This guy pulls from our translations of our podcast. This is not an AI that pulls information from Wikipedia. You know what I mean? This is the PBN AI is what it is. It's the PBN transcripts that when you ask it a question, it does its best to pull from our archive. And if it doesn't have it in the archive, you don't get it. It doesn't make some answer up. So then I got no grid survival projects. Maybe that link doesn't work. Maybe I got to check if that link still works. Maybe it's a faulty link. And then I've got bunker beans, which I had this morning from our company, disastercoffee.com. What's dangerous? What is dangerous? Where's the danger? So anyway. So anyway, that's chirp.me slash pbn, the most dangerous website on the internet. Be very careful. know skynet doesn't want the sheeple to know they have options that's probably what it is let's put that comment up from jay ferg over at rumble because that is about right well here are your options or here is here is one option that i think is very important now you you're gonna have to go to it particularly if you're at instagram rumble you got the link in there the chirp.me slash pbn link but it's your quickest way to get this book right here okay now this book was cool back in the day when it came out. I helped write this book back in what? When did this thing come out? 2015 or something like that? I don't know. 2021. 2021 No Grid Survival Projects written by Michael Major, Amber Robinson, Claude Davis, and yours truly, James Walt, the Intrepid Commander. Now, this book was cool when it first came out, and I still see people selling it all the time. But this book has 70 projects in it to help you live more off-grid. And the best solution I can give you to what's happening in the world right now is to make your way off-grid to your heart's desire. I think we all have to start to... really kind of figure out what we want to do on grid and what we want to do off grid. I don't think that the whole world needs to jump off grid and live austere with black wrapped rain barrels on the top of the roof for hot water. Okay. But I do think that if you're a fan of hot water, you should probably have a, this is a great idea. It just kind of came to me just now. I don't know why, but you should probably have a power supply that can provide that hot water for you. In the form of a large power bank that can be recharged. Either when you're on grid with power or off grid with solar panels. This is a mindset. This is a lifestyle thing. We're really good at lifestyle here at PBN. You know what I mean? And it's because the hosts live the lifestyle. They are the lifestyle. You know what I mean? They are the lifestyle. So it's really easy to convey. Do this because we do it and it works. Do this because this is what I want to do and I know it's going to work. Making your way off grid to some degree, in some sense, or making the jump off grid less painful. You know what I mean? I want you to look at AI disruption, which is life. This is life. There is going to come a time, oh, the power's out because the AI rogue agents are going crazier because Iran got its hand on a powerful AI from China and they're raising hell in the United States because Iran has been defeated and they have no military and they have nothing. And the war is over next week, except we're going to fight for another six months and the gas price is going to continue to go up. Somehow, I don't know who we're fighting. A month into the war, Donald Trump said the Iran military was completely ruined and destroyed, yet here we are. He's got to stop that stuff, man. He's got to stop that nonsense. Just tell people what's going on. Just tell people. There's a bunch of caves. Tell the truth. There's too many caves and too many caches of rockets around Iran. We don't know where they all are. We can't find them all. We're doing our best. And it's going to be a while. And we've screwed up again. We are in the quicksand of the Middle East again. Guess what? Just tell us the truth. This is what it is. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, okay, how you get off-grid... When you are pushed off grid or when you decide to go off grid, whatever the situation is, how you get there is up to you. It can be a jump from 100 feet where you land and you're really damaged. It can be that way. Or you can start to do things that make it more like a drop off a curb, like a small jump. Now, what these projects do and what this book does better than anyone is tell you products that you're going to need and cost. It does it better than any book out there. Everything's costed out. Everything's materials broken down that you might need. How to turn a car CB radio into a powerful transmitter. That's pretty cool. That's one of those ones that Chin hears and gets all excited about. Chin, have you turned your car CB radio into a powerful transmitter yet? Using PVC pipes, tools needed, soldering iron and solder, tape measure, handsaw, linesman, pliers, cordless, drill, drill bits, PVC, plywood, sharp knife, glue, side cutters, wire strippers. And look, for convenience, man, it evens got QR codes in it. 2021. 2021. Jay Ferg, you got a great book, too. I gave Jay Ferg a book a couple years ago that is the Depression Preparedness book. It's another book I helped write with these same guys. Amazing. Just amazing. But I'm telling you right now, man, your jump from on-grid to off-grid is what you should be focusing on right now. What does that look like? You know what I mean? You get to a point where all of a sudden you're off-grid. What does that look like? This is a really cool device that you can install. I used it for years. I only recently took it off because we had to do some work in the bathroom. But this is literally my toilet. This is literally my toilet right here. But it's a very cool device. And it's one that in an extended power outage, right? In an extended power outage and water outage, This would really be helpful. What this device does, and largely, this is not really a build. This is more of a purchase. But what this thing does is when your tank fills up, so your toilet tank fills up in the back, right? It's one of those places where they say, like, you know, uh... Um... You can drink the water out of the back of the toilet. I mean, I would definitely boil it first at least, right? But in a situation where you're running out of water for real or the water is contaminated or whatever, this is an old prep or lure. What you can also do, oh, the solar panels just kicked on. What you can also do is, or the sun just kicked on, I guess, to the solar panels. Here's the book. Jay Ferg just put the book up. I'm going to throw it in the video. It's called Dollar Apocalypse Survival for the Next Great Depression. Amazing. Full color, full step-by-step, all kinds of stuff. How to prepare food, how to store pantries, and that whole thing. But anyway, what that device does on the back of the toilet is sucks the water up from the tank and uses it as a sink for hand washing, hygiene, whatever, stuff like that. I don't know that I brush my teeth with it, but I mean, basically that tank, well, you know what it does. It's not like you would just be like sipping water out of it. You know what I mean? But if you're taking water from your rain barrels and you're filling up that tank to flush your toilet, right? When you flush your, oh, you know what? That's actually not true. I don't know if that would work that way or not. It will help you conserve water, though, because I'm pretty sure the tube that pushes the water out comes from the water line. But anyway, there's all kinds of great projects in that book. Chirp.me slash PBN. Jay Ferg says, or you can get a grail. Yeah, the grail's cool. The grail is cool. The grail is hard to deal with. It works. My son's had my grail now for months. The grail is hard to deal with. I mean, the grail, I don't know that everybody can operate one. I'm going to be honest with you. I think if it came down to it, it would be really hard for my 11-year-old to work the grail. And I don't know if the more you use it, that's what we're kind of trying to see right now. The more you use it, the easier it becomes to work with. But if you were in a situation where you're weak because you haven't eaten or drank, and you find yourself at a water source and you try to get the grail apart and then try to filter the water with the grail, if you're not strong and you're already weak because of the situation you're in, you're going to wind up drinking the water out of the lake or the creek. You're not going to filter it. I mean, it's hard to get the grail apart, like the pieces apart. It's hard to pull them apart, right? And then it's hard to push it down and to really push it down to filter the water. It's not an easy device to use. I'll take the Sidekick by Hydro Blue over the Grail, to be honest with you. If I had a choice, if my survival turns into a video game select screen and I have an inventory to fill, which one do I choose? You know what I mean? Give me the little tiny Sidekick straw filter. I'll take it. Because it's easy. It's quicker. It's easier. I mean, it's just one of those things. One of the things about the grail that's great is that you know it works, right? You know that it's working because the force that it takes to put it in place. that water through the filter, it's doing something. That filter is not, you know, that's a serious filter. Like I said, the problem is who all can work it, you know? I have, you know, there was a time when I had a, I don't know, like a six-year-old and a 10-year-old around. There's no six-year-old on the planet can work a grail. I would love to see a video of a six-year-old work a grail. I'd be very impressed because it's too hard. But whatever, it's great. If you're an adult and you've got grip strength, people are weaker than you think nowadays. It's really weird. It's really weird to watch them because they don't do anything with this. You know what I mean? If you don't do anything with your hands, like grip, pull yourself up. You know what I mean? People can get unbelievably weak in this society. It's really weird. I mean, completely ineffective. You know what I mean? So, I don't know. It is what it is. It was a great gift. Don't get me wrong. It was phenomenal to get one. I never would buy one in a million years before getting one as a gift because they're too damn expensive. You know? Your live video's been interrupted over at Instagram again. Oh, great. They're really doing it. There's an article over here about the U.S. power grid. I wanted to talk about the grid also. But we're not allowed to read it because Forbes wants to charge me money. Really? That's horrible anyway. Canada and the United States share dozens of power lines connecting their electricity grids. For over a century, Canadian provinces sold power south to the larger U.S. markets. Following trade tensions, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a national strategy in May to double Canada's grid by 2050. I like the sounds of it, Carney. Carney! I like that, buddy. Now you're talking, man. Now you're talking like a human. I love it when people talk like human beings. I love when people sit there, sit around and go, what can we do better for the human race? Right? That's what I love. I don't want to hear people talk about the frogs and the turtles. Nothing wrong with it, but people will handle that. People are great. They do great things. I love it when a leader goes, what can we do for our own country and our own people? Big ups to Mark Carney. He's a little slow, but he's catching up. While officials cite affordability, reliability, they call it national security. Currently, about 28 gigawatts connect Canada to the U.S., while only 17 gigawatts connect Canada, the Canadian provinces. East-west lines would let Canada keep power at home, potentially leaving U.S. regions less reliable. Canada and U.S. share the longest international border in the world, but worth paying attention to is not the imaginary line that keeps them separate, but dozens of physical power lines that tie them together like stitches. They're like stitches. It stitches together. And you know who wants to cut those stitches more than anybody? And this is the whole reason we're mad at Canada. This is the entire reason that Donald Trump's angry with Canada. I know it 100%. Yes, they're liberal. Yes, they're left-wing. Yes, they don't make any sense on stuff. But I think Donald Trump could deal with all that. The real reason the United States and Canada are not happy and are not going to get along is because China... is worming their way into Canadian politics and Canadian culture and life and all that from the West Coast. And that influence is dangerous. It's too dangerous to be right there. That's all there is to it. And now you know why it's too dangerous. Because the stitches that hold us together are the shared power lines that power both of our grids. And if you're going to attack the United States, you know, You have to attack our allies or you have to at least have influence over our allies. If you're going to do anything to the United States, right? So this is just an interesting development. The power grid is everything, guys. If you don't know anything about the grid, if you haven't thought about the grid, if you don't think the grid is going to be an issue, the power grid is everything now. It is everything. It went from being... It went from being the most ridiculously unthought of thing on the planet, where like our best guesstimate for repairing it was like three months if China wants to give us the parts type of thing, or six months, or I don't remember what it was. But we used to be, you know, preppers used to be part of the group of people opining for like, let's fortify the power grid here from an EMP, from an attack, from whatever. Let's manufacture our own parts for our own power grid in the United States. Let's try that. We probably shouldn't have China making all the grid parts. And now all of a sudden, thanks to AI, everybody knows. Electricity, price, what's going on? Power grid, I don't get it. What's happening? Trump wants to build nuclear power plants on all the corners of the earth. Hey, I don't have a problem with it, to be honest with you. We've been let down by a lot of things. One of the things we rarely get let down by is nuclear power. In August, trade talks collapsed. The U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on about $ 20 billion of Canadian goods while exempting energy. Or while exempting energy days later, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he would cut electricity exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota if the dispute escalated. While Canadian officials framed the grid effort around affordability and reliability, they also called it a matter of national security. It's a good bargaining chip. You wait until it gets real cold. You wait. If the premier, whatever a premier is, I think that's like a president. I don't know what these guys do. But Doug Ford, if Doug Ford was smart, he would go to Trump immediately. to renegotiate the tariff in the dead of winter and tell them that New York, Michigan, and Minnesota is going to get a whole hell of a lot colder if we don't come down from 50%, right? Not saying I want it to happen, but one grid, two countries. Roughly 28 gigawatts of transmission capacity connects Canada to the United States. So more power connects us than goes to Canadian provinces. PBM family, it's a wild world out there, man. All this stuff is happening. All this stuff that we talked about might happen is happening. You know what I mean? It's just crazy. It's just crazy. But what that means to you is you're on borrowed time, man. I mean, I'm just being honest with you. The Pentagon comes out and says 90 days off grid, and you're going, I think I could make three days off grid before things got real bad and real weird. It's borrowed time. You know, it's borrowed time. We have a million resources. A billion and one resources. Seriously. I mean, if you're here and you're new, like, you're here for a reason. You're here for a reason. Stay tuned. Stay with us. Because we're going to talk about all kinds of stuff. Dave Jones just reached out. Told me he wants to do an election night show. So we'll be on the air election night next Tuesday. Be prepared for that. We're going to be taking callers in the near future. Over on Rumble. I think that'll be a good time. Callers. What else? What else is up and coming? I don't know. Who cares? I'm starving. I need to go eat breakfast. I do appreciate you guys. Please. Take heed. Take action. Prep on. You know what I mean? Get your food in order. Make sure that either you have a relationship with a producer of food that is local. Or that you have food production in your backyard that can at least sustain you for some period of time, right? Make sure that you have stored food enough that should you wake up and find out that the Fortress Initiative has taken hold, the Pentagon's Fortress Initiative has taken hold, the United States is without its grid support for 90 days. You don't go, oh, we're going to die. We're going to starve. That's a really good, like an easy priority. You know what I mean? An easy priority.
