Surviving America 063: LIVE

Society in every state is a blessing. A government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil. The future has already welcome in everyone Surviving America owed uh something or other? I don't know. Sometimes I type numbers in there that are right, sometimes they're completely wrong. Let's get up on the screen here, welcome in Instagram. What do we got X? No no X today? X can go to hell today Instagram, rumble YouTube, the heart of darkness, the heart of darkness. They don't like political talk, they don't like music, they don't like AI music, they don't like copyright free music, they don't like anything over there. It really is a microcosm of sort of the left wing misery that encapsulates the whole movement by and large. So I want to talk to you folks today. What's going on, what's happening in your World's in your minds? On surviving America. I've been doing a lot of planning, thinking, getting a lot of consulting done with listeners, members, humanity at large, And to be quite honest with you, I'm a little interested in kind of what's going on in the back of your guys heads. A lot's happened in the United States. A lot's happened in the world, and I don't know what I've been missing. What's up, Cosmo? How you doing? Man the Garden Girl with us today? Oh boy, this is gonna be a good one. Should I move to Rumble? I can't really comment there. Oh yeah, that's a good point. That is a good point. The Phoenix is in here. What is up? The All Star Core is arriving. Should you move to Rumble? Yeah, Rumble's weird with the stream yard, I don't know. Rumble's decent. We're there every time. The thing about Rumble is we're there every time. I don't know why we're there every time. We have a pretty decent following over there. But yeah, you know it's there's the podcast is where it's at, all of you watching through Instagram, through Rumble, through YouTube. You gotta go to Speaker. You gotta watch the podcast or listen to the podcast. Listening to the podcast will make you a better prepper too, because you're not stationary in front of this thing, right And if I do it here, I'm gonna do it in the podcast. All right, Now, we have to take a brief We have to take a brief break. Because I forgot to let the dogs. Okay, so enjoy this this clip, Enjoy this ad. Actually we're gonna run a real quick ad video while I go let the dogs in. Okay, The Preppers Medical Handbook, the one and only. Check it out. Hang on, we're back. I didn't mean to get into an ad that quick, but it just dawned on me. Boom, forgot to let the dogs in. We got problems. It's like, you know, twenty some degrees out garden girl over there, third this snow day in a row. Hey, you guys, get out here. Put that shoe down, goomba. The dogs may be a feature in today's show. They may be a feature because they're both a little riled up, the young one, the youngest of the two, and they want to have a good time. Okay, sorry, chewing on a boot, chewing on. I didn't I don't want you over here. I didn't call you to come over here, buddy, not right now. So we get a lot, I mean, we got a lot on the back burner. But what I was getting at before the break and before the dogs was pretty simple. The podcast is where it's at. The podcast is where it's at. If you're looking for interaction Cosmo in particular. We're gonna bring back, no doubt, we're gonna We're gonna bring back the Element live chat room. Okay, the Element live chat room is coming back. Element is coming back in a big way. We've got a lot of people over there now. But I kind of let let it sort of die on the vine a little bit for a while. But we're gonna bring it back. Element is like everything with PBN, We're always ahead. Okay, I'm like that in real life. My kids are like that, you know what I mean. It's just one of those things. And sometimes you get your so far ahead on a thing that you don't even trust it. And really, I got to thank Chin for Element. But Chin put us in an encrypted chat room that we built into like twelve or twenty encrypted chat rooms. I think it is that our audience used to play on. But it took a lot of steps to get in there. This was years before you know, I'd say two or three years before telegram. You know, what's the one we use signal all that kind of stuff. We're in an encrypted sort of forum slash chat room and past key and the whole nine, And it was a lot of hoops for people to jump through, and personally, I kind of lost confidence in it, even though we have a ton of people over there. My bad on that. But we have a live showroom over there, and what we'll do is we'll just go back to doing doing the live chat room over there. Now. We do have some sort of future like radio call in stuff that we'd like to do, and it probably in the second half of the year or two. Guarded Girl says she loves that element's been blowing up these past couple of days. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. That's really on me. I go in there and start playing around. We can have some fun again. We got our great fitness room and then we got all kind of great stuff and now the tinfoil hat landing pad over there. I mean, it's a fun it's fun. It was it was. It's basically a room made up by the fans of PBN. I don't know too many, too many things, so that'll probably be your best beat. Cosmo, if you want to DM me over on Instagram, I'll get you a link to get into that live chat room and we'll get in there and all that kind of stuff. I'll pop in right now. What the hell, let's pop into the Element. I was already in Element today, but let's pop in there. God, the news is so vapid and nightmare. You open the news is like if there's nobody dying in no war, then it's all just sirens. You know what I mean? Do you know what? Do you guys understand what I mean when I say sirens. If you don't know what I mean when I say sirens, I want you to think about it. I'm not gonna explain myself. But it's war, it's death, it's outrage and sirens. That's what it is. That's the whole of the American media. You know what I mean. I have no idea what Cosmo means, he says. One of the issues with it is spam server loads see sam and when it is connected to other servers with the federated model. So this is what we do Cosmo with ours. If you're talking Element, hold on one second. I'm in the live chat what sleep? So our live chat is for everybody right over an Element. It's for anybody. We give you a link you can you know, come come to the link and bing bang boom. Every other chat room is invite only so we bring you into the live look you up and down, empty of pockets, you know, the whole thing, and then we invite you into the other rooms. So yeah, that's how that goes. So again, I largely I had like six different show ideas in my head. I think we're due probably a PBN State of the Union. We're probably doing American State of the Union. We are definitely do another Mother of Mayhem. If you haven't checked out the Mother of Mayhem show yet, you got to watch that. That is going to be a new series, a new Virginia focused series because of the wonderful and talented Abigail Spanberger and her Marxist attack on my state. Already right out of the gate. I don't want to get into it in detail here. It really Mother of Mayhem really is going to be sort of my political outlet, right, I mean, garden Girl, you're not lying, she says, only the cool kids get the invite. You're not lying, you know what I mean? Well, that's kind of what it is. Right. If you if you can't fight good pumps, if you can't find a club that will let you in, you just build your own club, right, like one of those things or who was the Groucho Marx line any club. I wouldn't join any club that would have me something like that. So I don't know. I'm in one of these kind of moods. You know what I'm saying. It is what it is, what's been on top of mind for you guys lately watching the US, watching the world turn. Donald Trump clearly got my and Papa Liberty's recommendation to reduce the force, remove the force, chill out, pair back with the ice so that you know, we don't wind up in a total nightmare come election time. He got the easy Dave Jones messaged me though, they say said Donald Trump listens to PBN. I guess I don't know if he was happy about it or miserable. Freedom sells is kind of a club, says Cosmo. And Instagram. There's some pockets of really cool people on Instagram. There's a lot of great Instagram channels that are doing fun stuff. I don't know. I'm not on it hardly anymore. And uh, I think it's better, you know what I mean. I think it's kind of better. But yeah, I mean, the world turns, right, it is kind of what it is. As preppers, I will say, like the Cosmo says, the United States of Somalia. Yeah, I used to call it the United States of Extortion. And I think we're still kind of there in a lot of places, the United States of Extortion. So one thing I think we have to be real careful of as preppers is sort of how patched into all of this news we are and we assume the country is. Do you know what I mean? Like one of the things that gets you into preparedness or keeps you into preparedness, is you like the news that you like that things are getting a little feisty out there, you know what I mean, there's no denying it, or you want to be in the know. You want to know what's going on, you know these kinds of things. I mean, it really is what it is. And I think one of my blind spots lately has been assuming that everyone is so in tune, assuming that everyone's so in tune, hey, assuming that everyone's so in tune, and everyone wants to know as much as I want to know or cares as much as I care. I forget that there's like a a silent majority of people out there who want to work and you know, go home, and watch the game and forget about it. Right. I think being in proximity to my dad reminded me of that, because the other thing you have to be really careful of, too, is to and the Internet makes it so easy. And I'm blessed because I got people like the Phoenix who who are not afraid to counter me and and also keep on me. But what's really dangerous is, you know, getting in one of those Internet echo chambers, you could build a whole community. You know, a guy like me'd be very easy to manipulate the hosts line up, manipulate the listeners to just a group of people who say, man, James is great? Is it he wonderful? Is it everything he says really good? It's super easy to be that sort of a situation, and then you're really screwed. I mean that that is such a massive pitfall in life. You have no idea. And I see it in some of you. Okay, I see it in some of you out there listening, I really do. I see that you are in an echo chamber. You are trapped in an echo chamber. I see that when a counter opinion shows up, you know what I mean, it's cleave to the rhetoric right, so be careful about that. Probably one of the best things that anyone can do is to find someone who's relatively articulate on the left, which is just a struggle. Find someone who's relatively articulate and not captured to the to the furthest degree. They're always going to be captured to some degree, and listen to them and learn how to listen to people you don't agree with, right, Learn how to listen to people you don't agree with, and go where's the pattern, where's the common ground? Is their common ground? Sometimes you listen to people on the left, like you know who I tried to listen to for a little while was that guy Destiny. He started popping up in places. He disappeared now because he got obliterated online. But and his wife cheated on him or that, I don't know the whole thing. It just went nothing went well for him. Imagine that blue haired left wing gamer guy. So, but he was one of these guys that I was listening to, and I was just I want to hear I want to hear what this guy has to say. I want to hear his points, I want to hear his platitudes. And uh yeah, he was found wanting and that's a good thing too. I did the same thing with Russell Brand years and years ago. I remember I remember being embarrassed to come on this show and do my live show and say I would listen to Russell Brand and like he sounds like he might be on the right track. Now you know, fan, what's he up to now? Last time I saw he was like doing a show with no shirt on. I'll tell you what Russell Brand look you want to if if we got any like real big fans of Russell Brand, let's do a shirts off show. Okay, I'll wear as many crucifixes as I can. You wear as many beads as you can and crosses, and we'll do no. I'll keep growing my hair out, beard out, and we'll do like our our very best. We'll do our very best like yoga guru in appearance and conservative and talk show. How about that? You up for it? I don't know, Phoenix, that would cost some extra money. Okay, that's a whole different platform altogether. That I'm out a coffee. I'm out of coffee already. Can you believe that? I don't know. I'm so happy to be here today, Man Hunter, what's up? Man? I thought reception was bad in Dallas, Costa. Rica's way worse. Oh flew south for the winter, did you, lucky dog? Nothing wrong with that? Man. The Hunter is with us. He is the man behind hammer Talk. Okay. Hammer Talk is an amazing blacksmithing show that we do for our members and our supporters. There's a link down below if you want to become a supporter. It's a great way to support what we do. It's a great way to get ad free podcasts. Right. It's a great way to get early access to members only podcasts. And we also have a huge, huge archive of members only podcast that's now accessible just as a as a playlist. I mean, you can start at the bottom, work your way up, start from the top, work your way down. We're doing members podcasts for a long time, before it was even a before it was even an option on spreaker, I figured out how to do a limited access podcast for our members, and yeah, I mean tons of great stuff. Go to Pbnfamily dot com and you can see all the membership content. You can sign up as a lifetime member over there if you want. Then you never pay anything. You get ad free podcast, the whole works, And yeah, it's been a good ride, folks. It's been a good ride, no doubt about that. Uh. Garden girls still under snow in Dallas, right, you guys still got snow, didn't. I see you say, get a snow day, Another snow day. Wrap your head around that one. I'm done. I don't know about you. I'm done. I've had it. I've had it with Winner. I'm good. I've got my pills. Twenty eighth of January or whatever. We can just go right to spring. What do you say? I am you see all this? This is a limited time off for this. This is all a limited time offer. Okay, it's coming off in the very near future. Because it's like my rain dance. You know what I meant. When I get to the point where I can't take it any anymore, I just shave everything off and pray to God that the sun will come out and the snow will melt. You know what I mean. It's like a sacrifice to the Lord, the hair sacrifice, the beard and hair sacrifice to bring on spring. It's kind of like Groundhog Day. Yeah, Phoenix can't wait. I get to turn forty next month. Wonderful anybody else completely like you know, like I don't know this birthdays like the garden girl says that Texas it was eighty two on Christmas and then and now she's got you know, snow and such. Yeah. My wife came up to me yesterday and she said, what do you want to do for your birthday? Which is about a month away? Do you know what I mean? What do you mean what I want to I have no idea. I don't want to do anything. The key to a good day is as little as possible. That's what I want to do. Yeah, I mean, you know, it is what it is. If you're a man, if you're a husband, you know what you want for your birthday, right you already Your wife already knows too. It's so, it is what it is. It's just another year, you know. For me. Except for maybe my vision, I can say, like I just feel better and better as I age, better and better as I age. I did do for the prep or fit in health crowd out there. I did do a strenuous sort of leg workout the other day, and dude, I paid for that for days. I don't know what it was. It was really weird. I mean it was like three days of intense pain and uh yeah, I don't know, it was a crazy It was definitely a crazy one. But this is what it is, you know. So I want you guys to check out the scroll down below there the Hydronomos. We're gonna look at the Hydronomus real quick before we shove off for the day, just because it's absolutely amazing piece of technology and it's a reminder of kind of where emergency preparedness is headed. But that scroll down below. If you see something you like, you can give them a call. They'll give you more information. Let me share my screen here. This thing is it's hard to believe. I need to get my hands around one of these things and really give it a good test, so I could speak to it that way too, because you got to see it in action. You know, I'm gonna get out of here actually all together, garden girl. We gotta get the prepper f and health crew all wound up again. Anyway, don't worry about it. That is something we need to do. So the hydronom is man the all in one disaster relief device. I mean, this is you know, this is the thing that you want to roll out in Tennessee right now, you know what I mean? Like post snowstorm Tennessee, you got this. You see how it packs up? It packs up like wow, just this little cart, you know what I mean. It's got great handles for poling. Four solar panel design. It provides you with water en power. Look at what you get. The key features portable waterproof solar generator and water filtration combo device, rapid deployment system one hundred and thirty five plus gallons of clean water per day with a full battery one hundred gallons per day desalination. I mean, look this crazy five point four kilowatt lithium battery store ridge nine point two kilowat discharge potential. This guy really is sort of a like a maximum disaster deployment into a disaster zone. But it's also kind of one of those things like you gotta you gotta bug out location, you gotta backup power supply that you wanna. You know, you want something above and beyond your your gas generator, right you want to go. This is all the movement towards sort of like owning your utilities, which I think is the future. I think the future really is people are like my kids. Likely just they'll have their own utilities, you know what I mean. I don't think the utility companies are gonna be happy about it. But so go to hydronumis dot com, folks, check it out. I have to imagine that these guys are gonna get really rich. They're gonna get really rich, I have to imagine once the military realizes what they have, what they're working with.
