The Pope. Good V Evil

[00:00:03] You're listening to PBN. You will pay us back the stability here.

[00:00:32] PBN family, what is up? Strange goings on in the world. Very strange goings on in the world, man. It is not typical that we lose a Pope the day after Easter. There's a strange shifting of power in the world right now, man.

[00:00:51] And, you know, I'm not the type of guy, for better or for worse, who has seen a lot out of the Pope in terms of influence. You know what I mean? That kind of stuff. The Firewolf in chat says he planned it. But who? Well, depends on who which he you're talking about. And that's what this show is going to be a little bit about. Not a lot about. We're not doing a religious show. I'm not built for it.

[00:01:21] For one thing, I don't know half as much about Catholicism as I should to be even talking about the Pope, probably. But I am married to a Catholic, so we can go with that. But it's weird. It's a weird thing. Like I said, influence, headline making, effect, maybe it's different in Europe.

[00:01:47] The position of Pope definitely still holds water in this modern day. This Pope did a lot of things that I didn't agree with, controversial things that I didn't agree with. This Pope was, not to speak ill of the dead, you know what I mean? But this Pope was tremendously wrong about immigration, just in a massive way.

[00:02:10] You know, like in the way that now the repercussions are not only felt, but they have to be dealt with. And he's gone. You know what I mean? Like Europe is in the midst of figuring out. If you remember, like it was, I don't know, could have been eight years ago. I don't know how long ago it was. But this Pope did recommend that we treat immigrants,

[00:02:35] and particularly in Europe when he was talking about it, you know, the way Jesus would. And, you know, maybe that coming from the Pope is the message that should come from the Pope. But, you know, the people on the elbow thrashing level of humanity are now suffering and will continue to suffer, you know, just letting asylum seekers into the country at will and everything that comes along with them.

[00:03:04] You know what I mean? So all of this stuff, you know, the timing is what really made the show for me. The timing is what brought this to the forefront for me, because for a while, I'll just say it. For a while, I've been wondering who is moving the compass.

[00:03:29] Who's moving magnetic north right now if we, the people, are traveling via compass? Because there's been a lot of wild things that have happened in terms of leadership, changes of leadership, leadership motivation over the last year. And I'm always, I guess part of me is kind of always looking for the Antichrist, but maybe not as the Antichrist.

[00:03:57] I'm always looking for the plot twist and fundamentally, you know, from a biblical sense, that feels like the Antichrist to me, like the guy who is doing everything right or, you know, has all the answers and so on. You could rest that on the shoulders of AI these days. You can rest that on the shoulders of somebody like an Elon Musk or a Donald Trump. And the signs, right? The signs are interesting.

[00:04:23] For the Pope to pass the day after Easter is, it's no coink-a-dink. You know what I mean? It's no coink-a-dink. Fire Wolf Fortress is not worried about it until they start finding the temple and the cornerstone. I could, I mean, you know, I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I could go a bunch of different ways that way.

[00:04:48] So the question, of course, is like, if there are supernatural powers out there that, and I do believe that there are, and I do believe that they have some capacity to manipulate your life and mine. Things have happened in our lives. You know it. I know it. Things have happened in our lives. That are unexplainable, you know? And if you have faith or if you believe,

[00:05:16] then it's hard not to attribute certain things in your life to a god. And maybe to the other thing, right? Maybe to the other side as well. Maybe to the chaos. I don't know if many of you know what that is or who that is. You've got to be super nerd to know who that is. But the chaos is a Warhammer reference, which is a constant battle between kind of good and evil.

[00:05:44] Humanity and evil will go with that. You can't necessarily call humanity good in any span of time. Not just good. But it is what it is. So that's, you know, that's sort of the question. Is good at the helm or is evil at the helm? Right now, here and now, in this world. You look at the world. You see what's happening. You know, we were in a very different situation one year ago. We're looking at the world very differently one year ago. And if I asked this question, you would say the devil has the wheel. Right?

[00:06:15] Because it was a crazy time. Right? Joe Biden was just about to be dethroned. It was wild. It was crazy. But now we're in a new boat. And it seems to be something that's infecting the world at large. You know, this tariff push is not just, an America first push, but it's pushing all nations. Morning, Jay Ferg. It's pushing all nations to sort of figure like, what can we do on our own? What should we do? Or what do we need to repurpose?

[00:06:44] Or what do we need to refigure out? And I guess, you know, what's more evil than a world government? I mean, really? So in other words, as what's happening right now on the grander scale is countries are being pushed to at least consider what it is they can do to be more self-sufficient. Right? On the national level, Europe, China, Russia, you know, Japan, major,

[00:07:13] major places, South America, all the above. because of the tariffs fundamentally. And because of sort of an America first situation that's happening. Right? And I look at that and I say to myself, okay, is, is a more nationalistic world? Because that's what it's, it's going to be. You know, there's not there, I don't think that the bricks, I don't think that the EU is going to create a coalition of, uh,

[00:07:43] maybe the EU could possibly, I don't know, but I don't see a coalition coming together like the one that's kind of now been shattered. By Donald Trump, basically. and, and really not necessarily Donald Trump, but I think the will of the American people, right? The true will of the American people left wing or right wing is I'd really prefer if we made more of our own shit. I'd really prefer if we didn't pay, uh,

[00:08:11] all of my tax money out across the ocean to other countries to do nothing with, or to have no, you know, bearing on me in mind whatsoever. And whether you're right wing or left wing, whether you hate Donald Trump or love Donald Trump, you agree on that stuff. And if it wasn't Donald Trump in office doing this, if it was Bernie Sanders and, you know, people on the other side would be like, yeah, this is great. Let's get some of our tax. Who wouldn't say let's get some of our tax money back. So I don't have to pay so much at the end of every year, my business, my personal, yeah, all this stuff, right?

[00:08:43] Anybody, you know, let's be more self-sufficient. So I don't have to depend, depend on communists in China to make our medicines and our computers and our phones. Like this is all common sense stuff. It's only being attacked because of the guy behind the wheel. But in terms of good versus evil, I look at the direction the world is going.

[00:09:02] And I see each nation and its own sovereignty and its own self-sufficiency as a much greater force for good than these big, bloated, world government style bodies that we created through the 20th century. Right? Trying to, trying to like focus on defense, but have just gotten totally out of control. Right? You look at the EU, you look at NATO,

[00:09:31] you look at the WHO, you look at, I mean, which one, which one is a shining example of the betterment of each nation that it's involved with? Right? The BRICS even, I mean, the BRICS is, you know, it seems to be dead to me. I hear nothing about it. Everybody thought that the BRICS was going to be the end of the US dollar. I never thought that the BRICS was going to be the end of the US dollar. Mostly because I think that America kills people who stand against the US dollar fundamentally.

[00:10:01] I do think that's, I don't know if that's an SOP in the CIA or something like that. But I would be very unsurprised if one day we find out that, you know, there's a few boxes you check when, before we decide to go kill your leader. And one of those boxes is we're not going to use the US dollar anymore. You know, I've just seen it in history too many times. Like we're going to distance ourselves from the US dollar. We're not going to buy your bonds or your treasuries or whatever.

[00:10:29] And we're not going to use the US dollar to buy oil and so on. And then all of a sudden you're being drugged through the town square in your underwear and hung. You know what I mean? One and one is two. So, yeah, who's at the wheel? The Pope dies the day after Easter. He is risen and then he is fallen. There's a, there's a lot of weird stories about what goes on, around,

[00:11:00] you know, what goes on at the Vatican. One of my, one of my favorite stories, I should have linked to it, but I'm sure if you search Glenn Beck and Vatican, you can find it. One of my favorite stories is Glenn Beck at the Vatican and. He'm running into a bunch of different chaplains where they may be, I don't know. He ran into some holy men there and he was being toured with by one of them.

[00:11:30] And then another one came in the room and, and this guy basically tells Glenn like. There's evil on him. and Glenn Beck says that when he comes into the room, he can feel it. And he see this guy's all decked out, you know, in his wizardry, in his Catholic wizardry. And, uh, and Glenn Beck says he could literally, literally feel it. He can feel the evil. And he mentioned that there's like a clearly some kind of battle for good and evil within the Vatican itself.

[00:12:01] I don't think that the last Pope was evil. I think the last Pope was woke. I think the last Pope might've been a little bit egotistical. Um, I think he might've liked the good press from the, you know, the broken media. Um, I mean, that's my take on the guy. You know what I mean? I'm not, I don't know. I just don't even know enough in what the, what the Pope has to sacrifice to get into the position that he gets in and all that kind of stuff. I'm sure it's not easy.

[00:12:30] Nothing of that, uh, you know, nothing's easy up, up that high in the rungs, but he has risen and he has fallen one day after the other. That's not a coincidence, folks. That's crazy. Right? So, um, Jay Fergie says, there were some opinions about this Pope. Yeah. I gave mine earlier.

[00:13:00] Like I said, all of it just sort of culminates in something that's been in the background for me for a long time. Jay Fergie says, I'm a Catholic and there were some things about him that were off. So Phoenix from Phoenix survival. Yeah. There's a whole world of weirdness and, you know, what is it? It's good and evil. It's God and the devil. It's, you know,

[00:13:30] Hey, yeah. I don't think it's as much a caricature as when you say God versus the devil or angels versus demons. It's not as much of a graphic novel depiction. You know what I mean? I do think it's more of a, more of an energy thing. It's more of an energy thing. And it's also more of a thing that you can feed throughout your entire life with every decision that you make. And I've just seen this in my own personal human experience, right?

[00:14:00] Like there are things in your personality and your daily life that you can feed that are clearly going to make you more evil and you feel them and you know them. Right. And there are things that are going to make you better. And my dad always says that your instinct, your intuition is God. He always has said that he said, but there's a voice in your head, Jim. And, and you know, when you're doing something wrong and you're doing something right, where do you think that voice is?

[00:14:28] And he's always told me that. And, uh, I think it is there for a reason. You know, it's very rare. I guess it's a psychopath, but it's very rare that a person can do something that is just completely off the wall, completely evil and not have that voice in the back of their head. Right. Not have that moment of doubt. So what I'm getting at is we all have it. We all hear that voice. But I, as I said, decisions you make as life goes on,

[00:14:58] the older you get to, the voice can get quieter or louder, depending on what you do. That voice can get almost a whisper. And that's when you get into big trouble. Um, but so on the grander scale, that's just kind of what's brought this to my attention is who's at the wheel. Is all this happening for good? Is all this happening for evil? Or is it something in between? Right. We will, we will have a much clearer picture when the white smoke comes out of the chimney next. Right.

[00:15:28] If you guys know what I mean, in terms of, you know, when the new Pope is picked, it'll be very interesting to find out who he is and what he's about. Um, because there is a pushback to religion right now from the younger generation. There's no doubt about it. This is a thing. You know, there's a lot of people. I think a lot of people have grown up and seen their sort of atheistic parents go through divorce, go through infidelity, go through a bunch of things and say, like, and,

[00:15:58] and also look at, you know, what else is out there to hold on to, you know, what am I going to hold on to the pro Hamas movement? What am I going to, what am I going to cleave onto LGBTQ issues? Like there is, I think people are looking for something solid to hold on to, and they're going to make their way back to religion. I, my assumption is that we get a much more traditional Pope for, for a much more nationalistic and traditional time that, that is upon us.

[00:16:27] I do think that it's hard for me to look at my kids and imagine they're going to be more woke and more liberal or within a more woke and more liberal group than the one that we just either are emerging from or you're fighting out of, depending on how you look at it. You know, it's just hard for me to believe. How much crazier could it get? You know what I mean? In other words, can it get crazier than drag queen story hour? You know what I'm saying? Like we hit some walls.

[00:16:57] We hit some pretty serious, like, can it get crazier than, uh, boys using the girls bathroom? Like this is not sustainable. This is not a thing that's going to go on forever. Right? So it's got to swing back. What will be interesting to me is to see where the Vatican goes. Do they recognize, do they go with the trends? Do they recognize what's, what's going on in the world?

[00:17:26] Who is unveiled as this new Pope? And what does, what does that mean? Because for most of my life, like I said, I don't think the Pope has had that much effect on society and culture, but I do think that there's potential for a new Pope in a new time, in a new nationalistic world, which is what we're creating, whether you like it or not. It's an, it has to exist because of immigration. It has to exist because of China. It has to exist, right?

[00:17:56] Everything. And because of Russia, it has to exist. Sorry, there's something flying around. Um, because every nation is looking around at the world and because of Trump, it has to exist because every nation is, looking around at the world and going, we got to look out for ourselves a little more, you know, big brother America, uh, is saying Ukraine, you're on your own. Good luck. Good luck. The EU is going to help you out. We'll be in the back channel here.

[00:18:25] You know what I mean? And a lot of that has to do with the fact that, um, no one is stopping the shooting and the killing, you know, Donald Trump or, or our, what's the guy's name. I can't think of it. We go over there and we talk to Putin. We go over there and we talk to Zelensky and we say, all right, let's do a ceasefire. And they go, okay. And then they start blowing each other up again. What do they expect out of the U S you know what I mean? What do you, what do they expect?

[00:18:53] We're just going to mope around and throw billions their way. And they look at our face and lie. Oh yeah, we'll stop. Oh yeah, we'll stop. Don't worry. Russia is going to get theirs too. If they keep it up, they're doing the same thing. It's wild. It's wild, but it is what it is. And like I said, this, it's just interesting, crazy timing.

[00:19:21] I want to tell you a better story before we go into, um, something that we got to go into upcoming hosts and a great opportunity for you guys or upcoming guests rather. Um, this is not how we do Easter typically, but we were about a week out. And I told my son, my oldest son, I said, why don't you, um,

[00:19:48] pick something out of the Bible to do at dinner, to read at dinner. You know what I mean? For Easter this year, no big, this is not a big group. This is literally our family. And, uh, that was it. Our family, four people, you know what I mean? Myself, my wife, two sons. And I don't know. I just wanted to see what he'd do, what he'd come up with and so on. So we sit down for dinner. He, he's like, I need a Bible. And he didn't know it,

[00:20:17] but I kept his first Bible from when he first got into the school that he's in now. And I brought that to him and we bowed our heads and he read, uh, I don't know what it was. I really, he told me, but I don't remember what it was. It, it's the, you know, the fundamental Easter verse, right? They came to ask where he is and he's no longer here. He's risen and so on. I'm not a good enough, biblical scholar to remember it. I was going to look it up. So I'd sound like I knew, but the truth is, I don't know it. Um,

[00:20:48] it was crazy, man. It was a crazy moment. You know what I mean? Like, first of all, we don't bow our head for prayer at dinner, hardly. Cause we hardly even eat dinner at the dinner table, to be honest with you. So we're doing all that. And I'm listening to my son read this verse. And it's just like, you know, it's a different thing. You know, it's a different wild and crazy thing. And just, it's not like,

[00:21:16] it's not like it took ages of training or, you know, it, I don't know. To move closer to God is always easier than you think. You know, it was profound. It really was. It was not something maybe five years ago I ever thought would even happen at our dinner table. You know what I mean? Um, so in the, what I'm getting at is in the midst of the battle for good versus evil, like,

[00:21:44] there are battles to be won in your own home. Right? There are battles to be won and lost in our own home. I hope you're enjoying today's show. It's a weird one. It's definitely a weird one, but you know, is what it is. So, Monday, not this Monday, but the following, uh, the host of the warrior podcast will be on. And he's a guy named Mike Seeklander. Okay. It's going to be off. Awesome.

[00:22:14] Sorry. I read, I read the F in the comment immediately. Firewolf says, if, uh, if you're not careful, he'll sneak right up on you. Yeah, you're right about that, man. So Mike Seeklander will be on and, uh, he runs the shooting, uh, shooting dash performance.com. I wanted to show you guys his website so you can get to know him before the show. Uh, he also does a great podcast. Uh, the American warrior podcast, the warrior podcast.

[00:22:44] Let me double check on that one. Um, but this guy knows his stuff. He's one of these guys. I'll tell you exactly about Mike Seeklander and his, his time on the range. So we're communicating through email and I hadn't heard from him for a few days. And he emails me back and says, I spend most of my day on the range and I barely ever check emails. So if you want to know who you're dealing with,

[00:23:12] he does in instructor led training classes. Uh, he's got, um, you know, you, you can host a class and he's got a lot of cool opportunities here on this website. He's got a membership program. What I really like are these, uh, defensive handgun training programs and defensive rifle training programs. Cause you could take them anywhere. You know what I mean? Uh, he's all, I mean, I don't know if you guys are into like the competitive shooting thing, but he's into the competitive shooting thing also in trains for that as well.

[00:23:44] But I like these, uh, defensive handgun training and defensive rifle training program. You can get the book, you can get the DVD, or you can do the digital program. Uh, I I'd say that competitive shooting for the pistol caliber carbine is probably pretty, pretty prepper too. Right. So, uh, Oh, he's got a fitness protocol as well. Check that out. So shooting dash performance.com is where you can see the whole thing.

[00:24:14] Uh, let me get the name of the podcast, right? There's several out there. Yeah, that's it. The American warrior podcast, the American warrior podcast. So check them out. He will be with us. Not Monday, not tonight, but next Monday. And, uh, it'll be a blast, man. We'll have a great show. I have no doubts. He's kind of, you know, just our speed. You know what I mean? It'll be a good time. Um,

[00:24:44] what do I have? I don't have anything. I don't really have anything for inside the cash today. No, not really. We're not going to push it. We're 25 minutes in. That's, that's fine. Uh, what else? What else folks?

[00:25:30] I think that's about it for today. The ration of ruin rules to completion. The ration of ruin rules. Uh, yeah, because we're days away. We're nine days away. Whether or not you want to starve alongside us or not, or, or, or survive alongside us or not. I don't know if there'll be a whole lot of starving actually. Um, at least not on my end, but, um, yeah, man, it's going to be fun. It's always fun at the Jones homestead.

[00:25:59] It's always fun to gather together with hosts. It's always a good time. Dave and I will be reviewing the January 6th footage from the Patriot power hour show. We haven't seen the second half yet. We're going to review and remark, see the Jones family and so on and so forth and have ourselves a, uh, a good old time. Jay Ferg says that, uh, what about tonight's show? Uh, there will be no tonight's show actually. Thank you for bringing that up. I was going to record a, um,

[00:26:28] show with Alex from gray man and company today at 10 AM and push it into tonight's show. And then basically I got the kids are at home and it's a busy day and we're going to reschedule that. So that that'll come later in the week, probably as a standalone show. Uh, I also got an amazing guest coming on a, a doc out of a PhD out of university in New York. New York,

[00:26:56] who is a prepper and wrote an amazing book about it. A book that I've never heard of, but pretty cool idea. You'll get to know her soon too. Um, you know, tons going on here at PB and we got guests lined up like crazy. I got the old magic book over here. It's awesome. You know, it's good to be, uh, the intrepid commander. I'll tell you that much. I'll see you guys later. Thank you so much chat for joining us, like,

[00:27:24] and subscribe and do all that kind of stuff. More importantly, probably share this thing, spread the word, spread the good word about the prepper broadcasting network and our, uh, collection of incredible hosts. I hope you guys had a great Easter. I'm out of here, man. It's time for breakfast. See ya.
