The Ruble Tumbles and Medical Preps

[00:00:02] Looks like there's some turbulence out there. To think you found us.

[00:00:45] How do you not look into that? How do you not go and see that? They got a Twitter video, they got a video. I didn't even watch it. People standing in line, Russians walking around with Starbucks. They look like they're desperate.

[00:00:59] I mean there's a big line, I don't know what it is. The pro-Ukrainian, pro-Hamas contingent are losing their mind. Jason J. Smartt, don't know who he is, writes,

[00:01:16] In St. Petersburg, Russia, lines are forming at money changers after news broke out that the new US sanctions that caused the suspension of currency trading on the Moscow exchange.

[00:01:25] You know, the worst part about a situation like this is it's too far away for most of us to even understand what the hell is going on. Janet Yellen, you know, you're already nervous right?

[00:01:44] Janet Yellen, US Treasury Secretary said Wednesday that Washington is increasing the risk for financial institutions dealing with Russia's war economy and eliminating paths for evasion. And diminishing Russia's ability to benefit from access to foreign technology, equipment, software and IT services.

[00:02:00] Everyday Russia continues to mortgage its future to sustain its unjust war of choice against Ukraine. There's a lot in there. There's a lot to make you feel less comfortable in that, right? And I've read other sources that say kind of the opposite.

[00:02:22] But the truth of the matter is there are limits. There are undoubtedly limits. Sarah Votsov-Konstantin, the main fundamental problem for the Russian stock market remains the expensive ruble. This came out 24 hours ago and is much more financially driven an article.

[00:02:48] Here's an article about the ruble where it from Reuters and either. Yeah, I think they spelled it wrong. How did they spell the ruble wrong? Ruble swings to opaque trading territory after new US sanctions. New US sanctions forced.

[00:03:14] The ruble fell to a one month low of 97.17455 against the dollar in a very low liquidity on the interbank market. Central Bank will publish the official daily rate based on the OTC trading closer to 1400 GMT. These articles are so boring, dude. Who gives a shit?

[00:03:39] Oh my God, how do people read this stuff? They read up two points and 1.6 percent in the Moex, the Russian index and that price in the caps and the oil and the BSCS world investment analysts. I mean, God bless them. But I can't read that stuff.

[00:04:01] This is what you have to understand. You know, for some reason, because I think because Americans fundamentally love underdogs, we like to talk up our enemies. You know what I mean? We like to discuss things like China's really getting somewhere. Russia, they got plans, right? They're probably.

[00:04:23] I don't know if you heard last night's show, but I did accuse them of seeding clouds off the coast of Miami. All of a sudden, Miami's like completely flooded. The Russians show up and all of a sudden massive flooding. So this is an interesting article.

[00:04:41] You may wind up talking about Russia exclusively in this show. What I want you to know, guys, is that the world is run by gangs. All kidding aside. All joking aside, the world is run by gangs. OK. Each country has a collection of people.

[00:05:05] They call them like a president and a cabinet and this and that and all these kinds of things. They're gang leaders, right? They fight over turf. They fight over resources. Some of them even, you know, participate in the drug trade.

[00:05:25] There are gangs that make up five people and there are gangs that make up entire nations. The world is covered in gangs. You, if you live in the United States, are lucky enough to live under the rule of the most overpowered and effective gang on the planet.

[00:05:51] That's it. God bless them. And I don't mean this current administration. I mean the whole apparatus that is, you know, the U.S. military, CIA, leadership, department heads, all these people fundamentally do a job. But then when it becomes time to be a gang, they become a gang.

[00:06:19] They become a gang. The United States has no money. And we go up to people and say your money is worth less than our money. I mean, that's fundamentally what is happening in Russia, right?

[00:06:34] Well, based on the world market that we run, your money is worth less than our money. And Vladimir Putin's got to be going like, aren't you like $17 trillion, $30 trillion in debt or something? No, no, no, no. You didn't hear what I was saying, Vlad.

[00:06:49] Your money is worth less than our money. That's the end. The reason, the reason it is so hard for any country to stop the United States is because we are ruthless. We are a ruthless gang.

[00:07:12] And it is to the benefit, you know, as dark and as creepy as that sounds, it's to your benefit. It's to your benefit. We say this thing is getting crazy. Well, guess what? We're going to move these levers and those levers.

[00:07:26] And yeah, it is going to have an effect on Russia. Now, I don't know if it will have the effect on Russia that they think it will over there on X.

[00:07:33] Over on X, they think that like Vladimir Putin's going to get drug out of his house today and hung. And boy, would they be happy, huh? Have you ever known a collection? Have you ever known a movement so dedicated to death? Seriously.

[00:07:54] You start to like tally up what's happening on the left wing. And, you know, they're particularly schizophrenic. They don't want you to hurt anybody's feelings by saying a naughty word that might, you know, make somebody feel bad or by the sake of all things unholy.

[00:08:18] You identify a person by the wrong pronouns. But they like killing people. They like death. They seem to have very little qualms. Once they isolate someone and decide that they need to go, it's all hands on deck.

[00:08:33] You know, kill the Russians, kill the Russian soldiers at large, destroy the Russian economy, screw those Russian people, right? Kill the Zionists, kill the Jews, kill them all, kill this baby inside of me that I don't want. You know, I've had my 40th abortion.

[00:08:53] I'm going to have a party tomorrow. These people have a very interesting relationship with death. And it boggles my mind how you on one hand can be like kill, kill, kill it all.

[00:09:06] And then on the other hand, you can be like, can we just be a little more conscious about people's feelings? You know what I mean? I don't know. I mean, it's just an observation. So the Russian ruble, new sanctions. You know, I don't understand.

[00:09:26] I really don't understand the sanction game. Like, I don't understand the little, the slow. If I wanted if I were in control and I wanted Russia to stop, I'd take every sanction I had and put it on them immediately.

[00:09:41] I would try to stop the economy dead and have the people, you know, suffer. Because that's how wars have to come to an end. Right. You if you have, in other words, just for clarification, Russia rolled into Ukraine.

[00:10:00] They made that decision the same way that Hamas rolled into Israel. They made that decision. They decided we're going to do this. Now, whatever happened with NATO and this and that, I don't know. I don't know. But they that was their decision. We're going to roll in.

[00:10:18] All right. One of the realities for Russia could have been to line their border with weapons. They could have lined their border with long range missiles and said, Look, if Ukraine is going to become a NATO country,

[00:10:36] we'll have every bit of firepower we need on our border to vaporize Kiev. That's all that way. If NATO decides we're going to make a move and for some reason, we're going to go into Russia,

[00:10:52] then we're just going to new Kiev or we're going to throw as much artillery or, you know, intercontinental ballistic missiles at that capital city in Ukraine. Now that they're a member of NATO, that's step number one.

[00:11:09] But they decided the best move for them was to roll tanks into Ukraine. So, you know, there's repercussions is what it is. Sucks for the people. The thing that people are forgetting, I think the biggest thing that people are forgetting about the world stage

[00:11:25] and about America is that the world is run by gangs. And your country is Scarface. You know what I mean? Your country is Don Corleone. Like that's that's what it is. And things can happen because of that level of violence, level of technology, level of deviousness,

[00:11:53] level of downright brutality that your gang is capable of on the world stage at any given moment that you can't see coming. You know, now another big difference between your gang and everyone else's gang is that we do have a sort of benevolent check and balance system

[00:12:17] and a constitution to some degree. They're trying to get rid of it, but to some degree. And, you know, I think the real balance in America, the real true balance in America, get away from like everybody's a hero. Everybody's a good guy, you know, good guys win.

[00:12:35] Get away from that kind of stuff because good guys get killed every day. You know what I mean? Life is crazy. What it really comes down to is the balance. You know, there's no denying that America has to rule the world.

[00:12:55] I don't care if you're just talking normal, if you can press aside all this these ideas about whatever emerging economies and, you know, whatever bricks is going to take it all over. Whatever America has to rule the world. And I do believe that America will rule the world.

[00:13:17] And a lot of what's happening around the world, even under the broken, disheveled, stroking Joe Biden, we still have the ability to do the things that we do. We still have the ability to...

[00:13:36] You're not seeing the full scope of what America is capable of, I don't think, militarily and politically and more importantly, geopolitically, because we have no leader. You know, we have no leader. Biden has not talked to Putin. Biden has not talked to anyone in Israel, in Israel, right?

[00:13:59] So I mean maybe he called people up on the phone or whatever. If we had a guy like Donald Trump in office who could go give a handshake and yank, give the old yank yank shake. Donald Trump has this technique.

[00:14:14] I don't know how many of you have seen it, but the first time I ever noticed it was with Vladimir Putin actually. Donald Trump does this thing and it's just a dominance thing, I guess.

[00:14:27] I don't know, probably his dad taught him, you know, but what he does is he reaches out for a handshake to you and then yanks you into him. That's what he does. He did it to Putin. You can look it up.

[00:14:40] And it's so weird because things like that in the world that we live in today, everything is detailed and diagnosed and plotted out and planned out. These five steps and these five preps and these six this and these seven that.

[00:14:56] And if you have these and do these and do this and get this thing and get that thing. These are the aspects of stoicism that a man needs to be powerful. When you see something like that, that little weird little move and he does it to everybody.

[00:15:12] You can watch him. Doesn't matter who it is, what world leader, what movie star person in the cabinet doesn't matter. He'll reach out to shake your hand and pull you into him just a little bit. That weird little thing sets a tone. You know, it sets a tone.

[00:15:29] And for some reason up there, up there at gang leader level, people understand those kinds of things still. You know, it's old school stuff. People understand those kinds of things. They go, oh, this ain't a Joe Biden handshake. This ain't a Joe Biden interaction.

[00:15:46] If I put all my fears and concerns and biases and everything aside, I'd vote Donald Trump just to see how he handles it. Just to watch a guy like him who doesn't even hardly exist anymore, to be honest.

[00:16:04] You know, you're watching a relic of an age long past. You're talking about a guy who was born, what, almost 80 years ago.

[00:16:11] You know, to watch a guy like that with that old mentality and to detail it and to study it and to say, what's going to happen here? Like if it were a movie, I'd watch it right now. I'd end the show and watch.

[00:16:28] If I could watch a movie titled Donald Trump from 2024 to 2028 and watch it and watch him deal with Russia, watch him deal with what's happening in the States, watch him deal with what's happening in the Middle East,

[00:16:42] watch him get China in line and all those kinds of things. And maybe it doesn't all work out. I don't know. I'm not saying he's going to show up and fix everything.

[00:16:50] But I'm saying if I could put everything aside, turn it into a film, man, I'd be excited to watch.

[00:16:56] I'd be very excited to watch a guy with his background and his skill sets and all that kind of stuff try to run the world back to the way it was. To to normalcy. You know, I don't know, guys, we're just talking this one is what it is.

[00:17:13] I had this big, big idea about talking to you about medical preps and I don't know. You know, I do want to tell you, I definitely want to tell you that we're not going to do standard PBN Daily News breakdown.

[00:17:33] I do apologize for not being around as much this week. For those of you who don't know, for the first time in my whole life, a wound was infected on my body. I really dialed it down to that. I think that's that's what happened.

[00:17:48] The doctor seems to think that's what happened. I can't even remember the last time I went to the doctor. I certainly can't remember the last time I had an antibiotic prescription. But I do want you to understand a couple things.

[00:18:04] You know, one of the biggest things, one of the biggest takeaways over the last this and this all started Monday. Just so you know, it was Monday late. Monday late, I got radically fatigued, tired, fever kicked in. Boom out of nowhere.

[00:18:18] Now, there's a chance I could have been bit by a spider on Monday evening. I did go for a long run in the woods that I do all the time. But who knows? Right. Something happened that wasn't very painful to my knee.

[00:18:35] And whatever it was got terribly infected. Could have been a spider bite in the same sense as it could have been a spider bite, guys. This is the worst part of it. It could have been a sore from neeing the punching bag on Friday that got infected.

[00:18:54] You know, I don't even look at my knees, but my knees almost never break. I don't I can't remember the last time I had like a bleeding sore on my knees from the heavy bag. But who knows? You know, it could have been that too. I didn't fall.

[00:19:07] I didn't you know, there was nothing like that. I stayed up most of the night Saturday and I woke up like two o'clock in the morning Saturday. And for those of you out there who suffer insomnia, sleep later. Stop suffering insomnia.

[00:19:23] You wake up, go clean something, paint something, get to work. Do you know what I mean? The worst thing you can do if you're one of these people who can't sleep is roll around and be pissed off at yourself because you can't sleep.

[00:19:37] Like, what a waste of time. You know what I mean? What a wild waste of time. So rather than do that, if I had and I don't have it that very often, but Saturday night I did have it.

[00:19:50] And I think I was a little excited because I was going fishing with my dad the next day here in Virginia. And this is new, you know. But I've been worried. There's some things I've been worried about, but whatever.

[00:20:02] So I stayed up the whole day and so on, you know, lacklessly. I don't know if that had anything to do with it either. Anyway, it all culminated in this situation that I'm in right now, which is taking an antibiotic to prevent a infection from getting real bad.

[00:20:21] And last night, you know, four doses of antibiotic in. Last night, I don't know what time it was, but I woke up on fire. On fire again. You know, I've had a fever since Monday. So what is it? It's not bad either.

[00:20:36] It's a really, really low, low grade fever. But at the nighttime, it gets rough and I woke up hot, crazy hot again. The reminder and the takeaway for you guys is you better have some legitimate medical preps.

[00:21:01] I know it's expensive and costly, but you should look into a duration health, the Jace Medical, the wellness company, one of those companies that has antibiotics, you know. Now, I was talking to our man Jorate before I got on over there in Portugal, our Portuguese prepper friend.

[00:21:22] And he was he was talking about, you know, lancing the wound and cleaning it and that kind of stuff.

[00:21:29] And I'm glad he brought that up because there's a lot of steps that could have been taken and still could be taken even if I was dealing with an infection without antibiotics in an off-grid situation and so on and so forth. Right.

[00:21:43] Now, it's also worth noting I didn't treat that wound whatsoever until I knew it was a problem. Right. I wasn't covered. I didn't even know it existed until Monday.

[00:21:54] So but all but you know yesterday around this time, it became clear to me like you got to do something different. The the essential oils, the herbal remedies ain't cutting the plantain poultice ain't cutting it. And we got to do something now.

[00:22:21] We got to do something that makes a difference. I'm writing an article I told you before for ask a prepper dot com about EMP and things we don't think about post EMP.

[00:22:34] And it's weird to be writing that article and have this happen because this is exactly one of those things you don't think about.

[00:22:41] Right. When the medical establishment has been rocked and basically the whole of the United States is medical establishment is worth is left treating people with off-grid medicine, you know, off-grid basically an off-grid medical system. No more shipping, no more anything.

[00:23:00] What you got here in the states is what you got. It's a very interesting reminder, right, that you can just roll up into I don't have a doctor. I don't get sick like that. You roll up into a patient first like I did.

[00:23:15] You get, you know, seen in 1520 minutes and, you know, in a half hour you're taking doses of antibiotic and the whole thing is out the window. So forget it. Move on. You remove that standard that we've come accustomed to in life is very different.

[00:23:32] It gets very different, very fast. You know, we have a resource. I'll link to it down below. I don't know if you're aware of it. Many of you are. Some of you probably are not. Our longest standing sponsor, the Prepper's Medical Handbook written by Dr.

[00:23:47] William Forge is it's an essential. It's absolutely affordable. It's not overwhelming. It's an essential. You know what I mean? Everybody should have it on their shelf. He was kind enough to go into that book, go through that book line by line, pull every medical OTC medical

[00:24:08] implement in that book out and link to it so you could go right direct to it and buy it. When he sent me that, I was so blown away, first of all.

[00:24:21] In all transparency, I flipped all his links into affiliate links so that when, you know, you build your medical cash on our website, I get an affiliate piece of affiliate income from that.

[00:24:35] But I was blown away that this guy even did that because I'm sure it took a lot of time. But what that opportunity does for you, which is incredible, is now you can buy the book right there on the link that I'm going to give you,

[00:24:49] which is just on our pbnfamily.com website. You can buy the book and you can buy everything in the book. So now you know you've got this reference guide and you've got everything in the reference guide.

[00:24:59] So when you say, oh, God, something's wrong with my arm, and you go down through the list, you say, OK, here are the things that I need to make it work. And guess what? I already have a medical cash filled with them. That's invaluable, man.

[00:25:13] That never crossed my mind until he showed me that. You know, I got Alton. I've got Dr. Bones, Nurse Samey. I got the Doomsday Book of Medicine. The Doomsday Book of Medicine is a real legitimate medical reference worth looking into. Important, you know?

[00:25:29] The Prepper's Medical Handbook is the distillation. It's the one you're going to grab. It's most likely the first one you're going to grab because it's smaller, it's easy to read, and it's right to the point. And if you have all the items and you know where you're going.

[00:25:47] Yeah, I can't really talk about that. But medical is a thing, man. Other than gunshot wound, other than, you know, that kind of medical trauma bleeding, there's been a serious focus in terms of medical preps on like eye fatigue.

[00:26:06] Preps on like eye facts and medical tape and gauze and you know, making sure that you can stuff a wound and all that kind of stuff. Just remember, man. Just a cut from moving fencing hithered and thither can get infected, swollen, red. It can affect so much.

[00:26:31] I was in the shower yesterday before I went to the doctor. Soaping down the wound, you know what I mean?

[00:26:37] And it's on my knee so I'm bent over in the shower and the blood pressure maybe, you know, your blood pressure drops when you have a serious infection, all that kind of stuff. I get dizzy. You know, so you think about that and that doesn't happen to me.

[00:26:55] I'm not the type of person who's like, oh, dizzy spell. Let me sit down. So you think about all these things start to compile, compile, compile. And if you're already in a disaster emergency situation, like this is not where you want to be.

[00:27:09] You know, get your medical preps right. PBN family, I'm telling you. Definitely consider antibiotics. It's not to say that you shouldn't learn the herbal remedies, the medicinals have the, you know, there's some really big benefits.

[00:27:27] And I do wonder if I caught this earlier, if I could use the oregano essential oil to because that stuff so powerful it'll kill everything. But if it was poison, it was necrotic flesh from a spider bite. I don't know. You know, I just don't know.

[00:27:44] And there are always going to be things we don't know. It was an eye opener and I'm glad it happened. I wish it hadn't happened at the time that it happened, but I'm glad it happened. All right, folks, I'll talk to you soon. Enjoy the shows today. Thursday.
