Okay, so. Let's just get right into uh, you know what we're gonna be talking about here. My last show was about how America was falling apart and we're in SHTF right now as it stands, and uh, you know, I did a whole series on you know, what are the signs that we're in an SHTF right and you know, we were just checking all the boxes there and and you know, and I think the last month, you know, has really emphasized just how bad these supply shortages, the gas issue is. We are most likely in a recession. I think the next time they you know, they they what is it? The figures come out will most likely indicate that we're in a recession. I'm sure that the media is going to do what it can to hide those figures, especially since they're protecting mister Biden. But you know, well, you know we're in a recession because you're you're seeing it, regardless of what the media is telling you. You know, the you know, the the mouthpiece for the American intelligence communities is saying right now, you know you're seeing it at the pump where gas is increasing at least what fifth, teen to twenty cents a week. Uh. You're seeing it in your food prices. Uh, you're seeing it when you buy any item, any item that you need is costing a lot more. Uh. And uh. Right now there are people who are who are definitely making the choice should I should I get gas in the car, you know, or should I put food on the table. You know, these choices are now being made by regular Americans. I know that the people in Britain if you're listening, and we have a large you know, overseas listenership, So if you're listening in the UK, I feel your pain. Uh, you know, New Zealand, you know, Australia, anywhere in Europe right now, it's pretty bad because of course the oil in the Russian you know, they are embargering the Russian oil, right they're they're they're they're blocking all shipments pretty much of Russian oil or anything Russia that which is directly impacting uh Europe. But you know, but that's the problem off h you know, not taking you know, not taking care of their own national energy uh. Issues. You know, you know, you realize just how much of a national security issue is energy, is right, So yeah, it's it's a huge national security problem for a lot of countries now because they don't have enough electricity to drive their industries and to keep their own people uh safe. You know. So I'm gonna take a look at a few articles that's just gonna highlight just how, you know, how big of a problem we're having in the world. Let's see, I have one here from a zero hedge Putin's blockade of Ukraine Ports Deiculary of War, the UN warns. This was published May twenty third by Tyler Durden. It says in a Monday virtual address before the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky urged Western countries to impose maximum economic sanctions against Russia. The world is united because of threats the war Russian aggression. I don't want you to lose this unity, Zelensky stated in a keynote address Let's see. His words came simultaneous to a UN official at the WEF stressing that Russia's continued blockade on Ukraine ports amounts to a declaration of war by Putin on Ukraine and broader humanity. Russia's blockade on Ukraine ports is a declaration of war that threatens to trigger mass migration and a global food crisis, a United Nations official said, adding to the dire warnings on the opening day of the World Economic Forum. UH in Davos. Uh, you know here, you know, it's it's a bunch of really incompetent people who are so in love with themselves, and you know, the whole narcissism of of you know, the whole the whole power uh, you know, the thing that they're involved in, you know, and and they really want to be seen in a positive light by the whole world. That they're there. They they don't make pragmatic They don't make pragmatic decisions. And one of the decisions when the war started should have been, let's talk with Russia about what's going on. Yes, it seems it seems, you know, it seems really shortsighted to believe that, Okay, you know what, We're gonna impose some sanctions in Russia and we're gonna run this. We're gonna run our own uh disinformation and propaganda uh uh campaign against the Russians, right, and Mr Putin and uh and and that will solve the problem. And the problem is is that people like mister Putin and Chairman Z don't really care what the world thinks of them. Uh. They have a national plan that they're carrying through and n they're just acting on that national plan. Mster Z has a plan for the South Si China Sea area and you know, Taiwan and and and cementing China's UH dominance in that area. And mister Putin. Has his own plans on on UH you know, creating more of a b for between Russia and the other European countries. And you know, and I think that both those leaders are just carrying through on their plan, and they don't really care. You know, if people use harsh words and say that they're bad people, it doesn't matter to them. They're just carrying through on their plan. And I think that they they're underestimating, well, they underestimated mister Putin. And I think that right now you could see they're getting really nervous about Chairman Z and his plans for Taiwan. And I think that they really believe that they can rattle the swords and they can throw out a few threats and that's gonna make much of a difference. And I and I really doubt that. So this article, however, caught my eye because for the first time, you know, uh, you see the filtering in of you know, of course they're gonna they're gonna blame Russia for all their internal problems. You know, mister Biden is already doing it here because no, you know, it was never him and is his uh short sighted really uh, you know, bad policies that have really landed us here, you know, So of course now they have to pivot, they have to try and find that scapegoat, and of course the scapegoat that they're trying to pin all of this on is mister Putin. Instead of negotiation, negotiating for peace and and keeping the gas and the fertilizer flowing to the rest of the world. Uh, they decided to cut these you know, to cut well Russia off and uh. And now we're gonna feel the effects of lower harvests. And and of course because the most of a lot of the world, you know, is experiencing all these really weird climate and weather events. Right we have we're having a mega drought here in the United States. There is all those floods going down on down in Brazil and even in parts of China. You know, it's it's been a weird, weird cycle of events, weather events. And that's gonna also, you know, drive down the the. Food the food production. We have Iran up in flames. And you know, if you haven't heard, they've introduced the electronic system there where you you sign up for it and you can you can buy subsidized you know, flour and bread right in Iran. You you should read upon that. You know, it's one way of the government controlling right, uh, you know, helping to rational and control you know, food in that country. You know, Sri Lanka is up in flames. There are other countries that are experiencing really bad upheavals right now. I think I think we'll see the Middle East go off first, and then you'll see it filtering into the Asian countries, the poor Asian countries, and and eventually, uh, you know, if you want to know what it might look like here in the United States, then I think that the baby formula issue was a blueprint for how the food issue might unfold here. You know, bad decisions uh and uh and and and and not having a plan in place to to supplement the food supply. Uh. Just like how they close down what the biggest baby formula making plant in the United States without some plan of getting them back online as quickly as possible, or without some plan of bringing online you know, other means of getting baby formula for all the mothers out there that really need you know, need need that that item. You know, it's it's it's it's it's just it's getting it's getting really crazy and pretty frightening. I think for the average personnel beginning to uh figure all this stuff out. This this is we've we here at PBN, We've been watching this stuff unfold and talking about all of this and planning for it for over close to a. Year, you know. Uh, and and here we are. Uh if if you're a regular listening listener to p b N, then I'm sure that your your pantry stocked. I'm sure that you you have your gardens going. I'm sure at. This point, uh, you know, you have you have a plan in place in case you lose electricity for period of time. And while you know, while not everybody can be you know, you know a Dave Jones or uh you know, or an Aiden Tate in terms of you know, homesteading and planning right, because those those folks take it to a whole lot of level. I think even I think Sarah Hassaway also, you know, is is really deep into the into the homesteading thing as well. I'm not sure about that one. But you know, there's some folks who uh, you know, are really you know, well they call it what it is. They're pretty much just homesteading. So they're producing food, they have animals that they have gardens going. You know, they have root cellers, they have alternate ways of heating their homes, alternate ways of gathering water. You know, they've got they've got most, if not all, of the bases pretty much covered. But not everybody can be there, like, for example, I am not there. I am I You know, when you're when you're working a job, you know, most days of the week, and you have you have young children, family, you know, your family, those family obligations where you've you've got to go to meetings, You've got to you know, you've got to take take the kids to their events and different things. And then you you have family, you know you have to you have to go on trips and different things, you know, family outings. Then you don't you don't have the time. You really don't have the time, and it does create some stress. And and later on I am going to talk a little bit about that. I'm going to talk about my plan for food and and how and you know how I'm dealing with the whole thing myself. Okay, But for the first time we hear them using, you know, a declaration of war or the UN warrens right, And and that's troubling because I have said that I think at some point the UN is gonna get a little crazy and they're gonna send troops into Ukraine. And that's gonna trigger really trigger world war, world War three, because the Russians are not going to avoid those US true though, you know, those UN troops or US troops, they're not going to avoid. If they're in an area where they have some interests, then you know, the Russians are gonna shoot though. They're going to be killing those UN troops or those US troops and vice versa. And and that's gonna pretty much spark a larger, a lot, much larger conflict. It's on its way there now. I think that they're getting desperate. Europe is getting desperate because the sanctions against mister Putin has not worked because they have they have stupidly not really understood that because of the sanctions that they had laid on Russia when he had first took PRIMEA, the Russians have pretty much isolated themselves, you know. They they are now pretty much you know, they produce all well, all of their own food, They have pretty much all of their own natural resources. They don't really need too much from anybody else. And of course they got an ally in China and the different other countries around the world that are having a problem with the United States. So you know, that's the problem of you know, I think that's this is all part of the fog that the news media and the propaganda machines are creating all there. The Russians are spinning. Their propaganda, and of course the West is spinning its own propaganda, and it's created this fog of disinformation where where no one really knows for sure what's going on. The only thing we know for sure that the Russians are still there, and it it doesn't seem like they're going anywhere. So this got my attention. UH. The the Europe is hurting right now. Higher energy costs, higher electrical costs, higher food costs, and most likely food rationing UH is UH will be. Coming to Europe. UH. If you live in the UK, you know you're gonna be seeing food rationing if you if if you live in the the European countries, UH, food rationing is c is coming UH as well as here in the United States. It's it is coming. If you know, if you live in the UK, if you live in Europe and UH and the United States, you know, gas and diesel rationing most likely is coming. Because the the they're they're they're pop they're you know, the their policies, they're the green policies of not. Not really. Drilling for oil, not bringing you know, not making sure that their energy independent, trying to uh trying to replace you know, tried and true energy uh you know, uh production with uh with with with solar and wind and and these new green energies won't work. The electric car issue, you know, the electric cars, they're not gonna work either. It's amazing to me to watch all these car companies. You see these. Advertisements on TV these days, and and you know, you you can't blame them. They have to make the product right because uh, you know a lot of the especially the Blue States, are gonna make laws where you won't be able to probably buy a car that uses gasoline probably after twenty thirty, which is just a few years away. Is you know here in New York State. You know that's been you know that that that's one of the plans they've got, and I'm sure it's probably they probably have those plans out there in California and you know, you know the Blue States as well. But you know, you need a pretty good electrical grid and uh, you know, and it's it's gonna be a huge mess. But it's just like closing down the baby formula plant not having a plan in place. It's it's kind of like cutting off Russian gas and you know, cutting off Russian fertilizer and Russian goods without having a plan in place. So they act first and then they have a mess to clean up after. It's never really thought out. It's all about virtue signaling, so you know, they can virtue signal and say, okay, we're gonna have all these electric cars, and they'll make the laws. And and because they've made the laws, then of course, uh, you know, those laws coming into effect, and then the public has to deal with the pain and the suffering that that these really bad policies cause these short sighted policies, you know, these these badly planned, short sighted policies. Cause uh so, yep, they're gonna get crazy. I think. I think at some point they're gonna send either U. S. Troops into Pev or U N troops into uh, you know, into parts of the Ukraine, and and uh, it's going to start the war. It's gonna it's going. To start the war. In earnest they won't be able to call it, you know, military interventions or or you know, whatever is is going to be World War three in earnest. The next cunning plan comes from the White The White how Mills tapping emergency diesel stockpile to address East Coast crisis. The East coast of US has some of the lowest seasonal diesel inventor in record. And this is from zero Hedge. This was published on zero Hedge, so you can check it out. So it says here the East Coast of US some of the lowest seasonal diesel inventor in record. Retail diesel prices at the pump from the Washington Baltimore metropolitan area to New York City are well over six dollars a gallon a record high. Well, I've seen diesel here for seven dollars and change up in my area. Major trucking companies warren drivers of imminent shortages as a summer driving season begins later this week. Now, the Biden administration is scrambling and has proposed an emergency action to drain a critical stockpile to mitigate the massive supply crunch. A senior White House official told CNN that President Biden could soon release diesel from the northeast home heating oil reserve to arrest record high prices for diesel across the mid Atlantic and Northeastern region. The senior official said President Biden is prepared to authorize the release if conditions deteriorate. Well, it's pretty bad now, adding the supply crunch has stabilized in recent days or what a joke. What's alarming is East Coast diesel inventories have fallen to the lowest levels since nineteen ninety. National stocks are around a two decade low. The system is definitely on the strain. The senior White House official says. Tight fuel supplies are due to many factors. Two major ones are declining refinery capacity and increase fuel shipments to Europe. CNN notes the release would be limited by the relatively small size of the reserve, which only contains one million balands of diesel, equal to about a day's worth supply in the region. It's small potatoes. It might buy a couple of weeks or even months, but it doesn't solve the underlying issues. Limitedure relatives which only contains one million barrels of oil about a day's worth of supply in the region. And then this guy is saying that it might buy a couple of weeks or even months. It doesn't make sense if you only have because I think what that means then is they're going to ration it. You know. If he's saying that it might buy a couple of weeks or months, right, that means that you know, be prepared for some sears diesel rationing across the country, especially in the Northeast regions at least for now, and that's probably coming soon. So you know, once again, and here he is, he's rating our national reserves right instead of making or making the oil companies produce a drill. Uh So, yes, here in my last the last time I saw gasoline, I think I saw four ninety uh so we will be hitting five dollars a gallon here up by me uh here in the northeast. I would say probably by next week. Could see it this week. If if the twenty cents uh you know, per week continues, then I guess we could see it this week, you know, next week, early next week. Uh So it's really interesting to me that you know, once again, you know, you know, they they they don't have a plan. All they're doing is just using up, you know, the supplies that should have been you know, that should be in reserve in case of a national emergency, and that's that always shows. Well, it's just bad planning, just bad planning. Okay. The other story is from The Insider and this was published May twenty first by Sarah l Arsharani, and he says a food insecurity expert predicts that there's only ten weeks of wheat supplies left in the world as russia Russian invasion disrupts production and the world has about ten weeks of wheat supplies stored. As Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters this fourth month, a food insecurity expert told the UN. Sarah Menka, the CEO of agriculture and analytics firm GREW Intelligence, told the UN Security Council that the Russia Ukraine war was not the cause of a food security crisis, but simply added fuel to a fire that's long burning. Ukraine is considered the world the world's bread basket in Russia and Ukraine combined account for almost a third of the world wheat exports. And it says this comes as US Security of State Antony Blinking accused Russia of using food as a weapon. Well, you know, blinking. Also addressing the UN Security Council, said that Russia was holding food hostage not just for Ukrainians, but for millions across the world. The Russian government seems to think that using food as a weapon will help accomplish what its invasion has not to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people. Menka said droughts across the world are contributed into declining wheat's resources. Menka said global food supplies are also being impacted by climate change and fertilizer shortage. We currently have only half ten weeks of global consumption sitting in the inventory around the world. Conditions today are worse than those experienced in two thousand and seven, in two thousand and eight, she said, So, you know, this is is not a good idea. This is this is not a good sign here. Okay. If they're saying that we only have a ten week supply left right, ten weeks of ten weeks of week supplies left in the world, then you know things are gonna get pretty pretty real here. We're gonna be seeing all these We're gonna be seeing a lot more shortages in the stores. Uh, you know, you know, in the next two to three months, I think that things are going to get pretty chronic. And as I said earlier in this podcast, if you saw how the baby formula thing unfolded where you know, at first, you know, people got concerned they weren't seeing as much as many of the items on the shelves. Kind of like what's going on right now in the supermarkets right with the different products. You know, people are beginning to get concerned they're not seeing the regular products or now have seen them at all. The notice the different things going on in the supermarkets right where uh you know, the the the the stock they're they're being stocked differently, and inventory is being moved around, uh to to you know, to make it to make those holes in the shelves not. Look as bad. But you know, if the product isn't there, the product isn't there. You know, a new poverty is coming to the United States. Folks. You can have the money, but you might not have the product. You know, so you have the money, right, You've got the money to go into the store to buy the product, but if the product cannot be made because you know, the the ingredients are not available to make those those food products, and then then uh, you know, then you're you're you're just as poor as as you know, as as as the beggar in the street, even with your useless dollars. So, uh, they're beginning when you see stories like this beginning to break in the into the mainstream media. Look out. We've been talking about it here for months, PBM. But when you see these articles being being now you know, published in the mainstream media, you know it's about to get real. Okay. So they're saying the UN is warning that you know, Putin's blockade of Ukrainian ports means, you know, it's it's tantamount to a declaration of war. And that's because Europe now realizes that, you know, what their energy situation is. Really, they're going to be crashing. Their economies are going to be crashing. There's gonna be riots in Europe. We're gonna be riots in England. There's gonna be riots in. France, you know. And people can't get there, there can't fill up their cars to go to work, or you know, they can't they can't put food on the table for their families. There's gonna be riots. They're gonna be riots here in the United States too, you know. So it's interesting to me the baby formula issue. Baby formula shortage, Biden invokes wartime powers, orders airlifts from Europe to boost supplies a shortage of baby formula and this is from urnews Dot Next by Natalie Hunt says a shortage of baby formula in the United States has become so serious that supplies are being airlifted from Europe, and President Joe Biden has invoked decades old wartime powers to speed production. Crisis has left desperate parents frantically searching for infant formula, which is the only recommending source of nutrition from millions of babies across the country who aren't breastfed. Supplies of baby formula across US have been severely curtailed in recent weeks after a safety recall by Abbot Nutrition worsened supply chain disruptions across the industry. This crisis has left pharmacy and supermarket shelves increasingly increasingly bare, and parents struggling to find UH formula for their babies, with many hunting for solutions online. Uh so, you know, it goes on why why there is a shortage, and yuah and everything else. But y w y, this is something that they should have jumped on a long time ago, but I think that they were afraid to touch it because it it'shju. It just highlights it's just more bad news for the administration. You know, this guy has pretty much led the United States into some really really trying times. Uh. You know, I think here in a few months, we're gonna they're gonna be acknowledging that there is a recession. Uh. I think that there you can begin to see this the first stages of what might be termed hyperinflation in terms of uh, you know, goods increasing incrementally every week. Every week you're going through the store, the food is a little bit more expensive, your fuel is a little bit more expensive for your cars. And this is just going to ripple across every portion of the country. So so just be just be aware and ready to deal with this. The last story that I'm not going to get into too much is the whole monkey pox issue. And and this is this is beginning to become a concern, as you know. I do remember a couple of months ago, maybe about eight months or so go there, we we had some monkeys that got loose here somewhere in Pennsylvania. It was on one of those highways where you know, like I think that the truck had overturned or something had happened, and all these monkeys had got loose, right because of you know, and these monkeys were being used, uh you know, they were being used in experiments. And that's how that's how you know, that's always stayed with me because it was just this really weird thing. You know, these monkeys loose, you know, just loose, and they were saying, yeah, these these monkeys were being used, uh, you know, as part of experiments in in in buy in labs. Okay, and now and now here we have you know, in here we have cases of monkey box popping up all across the globe. You know how serious this is going to be? I guess, well, we're gonna find out. Is this going to be use politically? Yes, everything is used politically. You know, COVID was used politically and this is going to be used politically as well. So we'll see. Uh So getting back now, and I'll close with this getting back to my plan for food, because I was I was saying, well, you know, if you if you are a person with a family and you're really really busy and there's just no way you could. You can you can do the animal thing, or you can't. You can't do the level of five prepping. Uh, then you have to try and get you have to have alternate, you know, plans in place. What I would suggest right now is plan for living a while without any electricity, okay, because if anything thing goes off, whether it be blackouts, because you know, the grid just can't hold up because the energy issues. And I'm talking not only in this country, but I'm talking all over the world at this point. If you're listening to this podcast in Europe, you know, or in Asia wherever you might be listening, then plan for blackouts, you know, for extended blackouts. You know, could you go a week without electricity? Could you go a month or two or you know, six months without electricity? Do you have the supplies in place right now where you could do that? If not, then then you should be planning and working towards at least six months to a year without electricity, because let's face it, if if there's some kind of nuclear exchange, then you know the grid is going to go. If there's some kind of hack, right then you know the internet might go, the grid could go down as well. The electrical grid could go down for a period of time. Uh So, so be prepared if there is a serious social uh disruption because of you know, the energy crisis or the food issues, and uh you know, and people start torching big you know, big plants and homes or you know, they they you know, they're there are instances of direct you know, sabotage, right you know. There you know, people start you know, taking out the infrastructure, you know, because they're angry and they're rioting or whatever. And and you know, we have you have blackouts because of what's going on. Then you should be you should be able to function and feed your family while all that's happening. Okay, My plan for food is, yes, I've got my freezer stocked, folks, Okay, and as long as there's electricity, you know, then I'm good with my freezers. I also have my pantry stocked, right, which you should. I have recently made sure that I've bought up all the things that my family need for you know, personal care, like your deodorant and your your tooth paste and your shampoo or you know, anything that you use for personal care. That way, I would suggest that you buy a bunch of it. You buy as much of it as you possibly can, because you know, if if, if things go go south, you know, it's it's really nice knowing that you can brush your teeth in the morning, right, It's nice to know that you can use some deodorants so you're not stinking right as you go about working in your garden, you know, during the during the bad times. Right. So so your personal hygiene items, buy that now, Buy that now while you still can get it. You know, your the orderance, your your tooth paste, your your your lotions, whatever it is you use for your own personal hygiene, get it now. I would also suggest that you know, if you know, stuff like underwear and like you know, like t shirts and different things, and gardening gloves, get them now, buy as buy as much as you possibly can. Gardening gloves are important because you're gonna be working, You're gonna be your hand's gonna be in the dirt, you know, and those gloves you can there are the multi use You can use them for a lot of different things. So my suggestion is, uh, you know, get get get those things now while you still can. You know, get your you know, get your gas now, you know, stockpile your gas now if you can, and make sure that you protect it. I would get the I know it's way expensive, but I would get the Nuneathanal gas and stockpiles as much of it as you can safely. You safely can. Now while I and. What I am doing is while I do have you know, an additional fifteen square feet of above grown gardens that I can use. I'm keeping my garden right now. I am keeping my own guard personally. I'm keeping my garden small. Okay, I'm keeping it manageable because the last thing I want is to do, you know, have this really large plant, this really large garden and not being not able to maintain it properly because I'm busy. I get in and I have an hour or so, you know that I can actually do some work and then I and then in the rest of it is family time, and there are things that I need to take care of when I'm home. If I get home and if I do have to go and go back, you know, if I'm not going going back out of work or you know, doing something else with the family. So it's busy. So do I have a lot of time to weed and garden to all that stuff. Not really, but I can still. But I still have a small garden. I have two above grown gardens you know that's really close to my. Side porch. That I have in cultivation and uh, if things really go south, uh, then I have I have the other three actually four gardens that I can bring online. And I have a greenhouse that I can pull out and and and set up if things really go south. So you know, those are all contingency plans. Okay, So I have a small garden. It keeps me. It keeps me, you know, I get my practice growing things, and yes, I will get a good yield out of that garden as well. But it's but but it's manageable. It's not something that's going to frustrate me or use up all the water out of my well or anything like that. You know. I have a small herb garden and of course the two above groun gardens. What I've decided is that every month, I'm going to buy one or two. Of the you know, food buckets. The way I see it is, you know, say you know this, you know, say we have between say we have the next six months, sixty eight months clear before it really starts getting bad and before you you know, maybe before you probably can't order anything like that online again because it's either so expensive or unavailable. You know, I can have an extra ten or more ten twelve buckets of long term storage foods food set by, and I can stack it, I can move it to other locations. One bucket will will be able to feed me and my family for a really extended period of time. It doesn't it doesn't need while you know, of course that should it should all be stored in a nice cool place. It doesn't have, you know, like if if I lose electricity, I don't think I have to worry too much about it going bad as long as it doesn't get too hot, okay, And I don't have to can anything, right, you know. The way I see it is, I could do all I could really really do all this work and work myself to exhaustion, and then I'd have to pull all that stuff out of my garden and I'd have to freeze dry it or vacuum seal it or you know, or to put it away. And yeah, I'm putting it probably in the refrigerator or even if I'm putting but if I do. If I have these buckets of food, right then it's it's just as good, and I'm actually getting more food and I'm doing a lot less work. I don't know if that makes sense. So, yeah, a small garden. And my plan is every month, I'm buying one or two buckets of long term storage food and I'm buying a variety so that, of course we don't get tired of eating the same thing if we really have to. So that's my plan, you know, And if you've been listening to this show for a period of time, you've noticed how that the plan has evolved. I've said, you know, since last year, that this was going to be the year of food, and it's turning out to be. You know, the poor mothers can't get food for their babies, right, the Barby formula issue. When you're going to the storage, you're seeing it yourself. Food is expensive or it's just not there, not in a way that it used to anyway. And we're getting down to the point where, yeah, there is going to be PROBAM, most likely rationing and different things coming online here in a few months. Because the situation. They have no plan to supplement the issue. They have no, they have no solutions for it because they don't know how to solve the problem. The Biden administration, the Biden and his cronies, they have no clue. They'll just have these little gimmicks like oh yeah, I'll invoke the defense to you know, and it's just it's all gimmicks just so that it looks like it appears that they're doing something, but in reality, nothing is being done. The problem isn't getting solved. And I think eventually people are going to see through all that fog. You'll see through it when when for months you're not getting the food you want, or the quantity of the food you want, or when you just can't afford it. You will see through the rules, you know. Or if you're listening to PBN, you most likely you have already seen through the rules and you understand that things are serious here. Okay, So my plan is, yeah, small garden, make sure I have enough water, make sure that the pant you know, we're we're making sure that the pantry is stocked. Uh, you know, of course we are. The freezers. Freezers are stocked right there. So there's different layers, right, but yeah, I am making sure that you know, you know, once or twice a month, I'm buying some I'm buying some long term food because that's the other part in the equation that needs to be looked at. Here. And if we have to be inside and we can be outside in the garden because of whatever might be going on outside, you know, if we're gonna put ourselves at risk, then it's nice knowing that we can be inside. And we don't have to worry. We don't have to worry about that part, you know, that part of. The issues. Okay, all right, so I'm gonna call it. I'm gon to call in the night. Right. My last my last uh uh uh, my last podcast was about how America was falling apart. We're in s h T F and and I think this one reinforces it. Uh you know, you know, there there's just so much stuff going on in the world right now that we need, we need to really. Pay attention to. But it all, you know, but it all just comes down to you making your plan. You've got to make a plan and stick to it. You know, these are serious times, and serious times require serious people, right, Okay, so I'm gonna call it a night. Uh. You know, keep listening to PBN.
