THROWBACK THURSDAY: We Will Be Tested in 2020 (Feb 2020)

We have to hit the reset button and create a true culture of preparedness, starting at. A very young age and filtering all the way up. So I do believe that on day one, we will change the Federal Controlled Substance Act, which, if you can believe it, now equates heroin with marijuana. That's insane. We're going to take marijuana out of that and effectively legalize marijuana in every state in the country. What we are also going to do is move to expunge the records. of those people who were arrested for possession of marijuana. And I'll tell you what else we're going to do. We're going to provide help to the African-American, Latino, Native American community to start businesses to sell legal marijuana rather than let a few corporations control the legalized. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Bernie Sanders menu, it just gets better and better. It just gets better and better, the menu. The menu of the New York communists just gets better and better by the day. Free healthcare, free housing, free college, free... Now you can get your marijuana. That'll probably be subsidized. That'll be subsidized, too. Ah. Have you ever seen more of a salesman struggling? Well, now we'll throw in the marijuana. First, we're going to give you the health care. All right? And for $ 19. 99, no shipping, we'll give you legalized marijuana on top of that. I thank you. My name is Bernie Sanders. I'll be here all night. See, but the problem with Bernie Sanders is we don't know if he'll be here all night or not, do we? We don't know if he'll be here all night or not. We don't know what the powers that be really have planned for Bernie Sanders. Are they going to let him get to the finish line this year or not? Or is he going to have a communist cocktail that will blow out one of those stints that were put in and then it'll be all she wrote for Bernie? See, but the Democrat Party is so screwed because they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they let the Marxists get in and he blows the nomination... Then they're screwed. If they try to gel them like they did last year, then they're screwed too because people will see right through that. They can't even have him killed. Even if they have him killed this day and age, people will know it. There's no way they can get around. Even if he drops dead of natural causes, the Democrat Party is screwed. You do realize that. There's no winning. There's no winning for them. It's such a bad scene. Even if he somehow gets in and offers enough to the youths, to the brewery crowd, right? Everywhere I turn in this state, there's a brewery. Every avenue in Richmond, Virginia, there's a new brewery popping up. Brewery. The young couples, they're getting in. Don't even get me started. I do not want to have a child. I don't want anything to do with responsibility. I want to work my 9 to 5 and then meet me at the brewery where I can take pictures of my beer and my meal and my hair and my nails and my whatever. If he can get enough of those, if he can trick enough of those on America being a mean and hateful, white, racist... colonial, what else, capitalist, nasty, stinking, rotten, degenerate nation that it is, and only an old Jewish man from New York City with purple hands can fix it, then yeah, we may have some trouble. But I'll tell you what, the marijuana thing's a big one. That's going to pull a lot of people. There's no getting around it, right? I love the idea, though, that I do... By the way, this is the I Am Liberty show. My name is James Walton. Nice to have you. Nice to have you on this evening here, February 26, 2020. We've got a lot to talk about. I just am emboldened and a little heavy on the politics right now because I got something in the mail today that's going to rock your world, but I'm going to make you wait for it. It wasn't from Bernie Sanders. It was from Michael Bloomberg, and it will rock your world. I also got some soap from the Hero Soap Company that I can't wait to try out. They may be a new sponsor of ours an affiliate sponsor but we'll talk about that later uh yes today is my birthday you don't have to send me anything i'll tell you what ben the breaker of the banksters from patriot power hour gave me one of the best birthday gifts i could ever get he became a patron so if you're out there and you're saying to himself what can i do to the intrepid commander what can i do for the intrepid commander on his birthday that would really make him smile i'll tell you what come join us over at patreon all right makes a huge difference Makes a huge difference for us, and there's a good chance you probably won't even feel it. Aside from, well, from the financial standpoint, right? You won't even feel it, but you'll get a ton of great content. I talked to the patrons for almost 20 minutes today. And I could have done a whole nother video. I could have done a whole nother video, but I told myself, Jim, don't work too much today, man. Try to take a day off. Try to relax. Try to do some of those things. Get those things off that list that you really want to do. And, uh. And here I am, podcasting. No, I have to come. I have to come talk with you. You know, I was almost going to be live. I was considering going live. But you know what? It's been a rough week for sleep in the Liberty Casa, to be honest with you. And I need to focus on that. And it's not just because I'm a prima donna and I want to make sure I get my eight hours. I never sleep eight hours, first of all. Second of all, sleep is part of the protocol that we're following here. You know, it's part of the immunity protocol for dealing with what we're dealing with in the coronavirus, okay? That's all there is to it. There's no magic behind it. But I'm emboldened. I want to have fun. I want to make fun of Bernie Sanders and, you know, have a little bit of fun. I know probably some of you out there are for him. You probably love the idea of the man who's going to come and fix everything with Marxism, right? I'm a socialist. I'm not a Marxist. I'm not. Give you this, this, this, and I just love it. I was talking to my dad before the show, and I was telling him about how Bernie Sanders kind of reminds me of Beetlejuice. You know what I mean? He's like this creature that you call on three times, and he shows up and tries to scare. Okay, we are here, and we are live, folks. It's James Walton. It's the I Am Liberty show on the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Have you been paying attention lately? It's going to be a crazy week. You better hold on to your hats. And the theme of tonight's show is we will be tested in 2020. And when I say we will be tested, I don't mean the public. The public is being tested right now. They're probably losing their minds. They don't know what to do. They want to celebrate because their man is over there kicking butt on the Democrat side, but they're also probably terrified because the CDC just came out and said, yo, you better prepare. You better prepare for some serious disruptions in day-to-day life because of the coronavirus. We just found out before the show that there was a, there was a, what are they called? Why can't I think about it? The ladies on the planes. I know it's not a gender-specific job. Forgive me. The stewardess, stewardess on LAX was positive, right? Positive. West Coast taking a whacking. This could kill California, to be honest with you. This could be like the final nail in the coffin in California. The last I heard, California is planning on prescribing housing for the homeless now, just as they would antidepressants, right? Give him a house. Give him a house. It's not our money. Don't you understand this racket? I don't get it. I don't understand how you can look at it and say he's going to pull from some magic bag of money and give everything to everyone. I look at my children. I can't help but give my kids things. I give them too much, right? And then I get mad at myself and I say, you know, if you keep giving these kids everything they want, they're going to be monsters when they grow up. You know that. You've got to tone it down. We talk about it, the wife and I. So that logic sticks with children, right? I don't want to go down the rabbit hole. I really don't. But what I do want to mention is preppers, tonight you will be tested in 20. This is merely the beginning, right? We're not even 60 days into the year yet. We're not even 60 days in. We've got a pandemic. We've had an impeachment. Australia was on fire. We've had a battle for Second Amendment rights in Virginia. Just the beginning, by the way. That's it. Not even 60 days in. Hold on to your hats, preppers. And listen. This year will be where the rubber meets the road for many of you. You know, the way this virus is going to spread, it's going to have a lot to do with. Areas affected, shortages, closures, and how that all impacts your life. You know, one of the crazy things about this thing is you could be affected by food shortages or resource shortages that happen in a different part of the nation because the infection is in a different part of the nation. You may not have cases in your part of the nation, but you could definitely still be affected by it. The virus. Right? I don't want to spend the whole time talking about the virus. Because we have been absolutely letting it loose. You know what I mean? We have been crushing this virus over at Prepper Broadcasting Network. And it's going to continue. It's going to continue. Saturday, I'm sorry, Monday. Let me turn this microphone a little. Monday, we will be live with Stephen Menking, with myself. with Dave Jones, with Jordan Smith, probably with Chin Gibson as well. And listen, we're going to be dropping it again. Because I think after this weekend, it's going to be even crazier. I think this weekend is going to be the weekend where people are going to say, honey, when we get paid this week, we're going to go buy some water, we're going to go buy some things. And it's funny how once the CDC declares it, that all of a sudden it's okay to be a prepper again. All of a sudden, it's okay to be a prepper again. For me, I even got out and bought a few things today. I even got out and bought a few things. Would we be okay if we had to bug in? We would be okay if we had to bug in. The beautiful thing, the interesting thing, the beautiful thing is we have ways of making money in our household that don't require people to leave the house. And we're lucky that way. Well, we're lucky that way, but we also set it up that way. You know, luck only takes you so far. I got news for you. Luck is, well, you know what luck is. Luck is opportunity. But if you don't tackle it, if you don't seize it, then who cares about luck, right? So we're lucky and we're opportunistic and we, you know, we won't live the life that we live now. but we won't be poor. We're not going to be the type of people that say, oh, I can't go to work, therefore the money stops entirely. And that's a scary position, and that's something that you guys need to think about. Because your boss could say, don't come to work. What happens? You know, a lot of people are framing this thing, preppers in particular, as this idea that, you know, I got to know when to stay home because I want to make sure my family's safe. Well, don't forget We live in a litigious society, and in that litigious society, companies may say, okay, we have our own protocols. We don't want you here. We're going to close the doors because we'd rather lose two months' revenue instead of however many millions if we get several employees and customers here. infected with the coronavirus from shopping at our store, whatever it is, whatever the case may be. So you've kind of got to be prepared for that. See, we have this weird idea because we've taken all of the steps and we've made all the precautions and things like that that we are in control. That's where preppers get confused. We are in control of this thing. Not so much. Not so much. We're not nearly in control as we think we are. It's a terrifying thing, but it's real. But in 2020, we will be tested. Preppers, we will be tested. And the reason I bring this up is because I want us to stand strong in the face of this. You've got to understand, my role at the Prepper Broadcasting Network has been very clear since the beginning, right? I want preppers to take a new place in society. I do. Because I think emergency preparedness is our weakest link. It is our weakest link. Climate change, whatever. It's our weakest link. Period. There is nowhere in America that we are more weak than when it comes to emergency preparedness. And it's a laughing stock to most people. Right? Oh, it's a big joke. What do you carry a gun every day for and a flashlight and a tourniquet? You're a paranoid schizophrenic. Look, if we lived in a society, well, I can tell you right now, and I've mentioned this before, and I've been meaning, I really want to get with our man over at Archangel Dynamics, but I just haven't. There's too much going on. You know what I need? Here's my problem. I need a project manager, and two assistants, or a project manager and a co-owner to really be at my best, unfortunately. That's where I'm at. But we don't make the revenue for any of that, which is why I need you to come to Patreon. No, but really, I mean, there's a lot of menial tasks that are taking up my headspace, and there's a lot more that this network can be and will be in the future. But I've been meaning.... Uh-oh. The prowler is here. I've been meaning to get our man from Archangel Dynamics on because I wanted to talk... I wanted to talk to him about the idea of combating the active shooter problem in America through education when it comes to stopping the bleed. You know, I have a theory that if And this, of course, is if we really as a society are going to sit around and say to ourselves that the last thing we want is armed people in our churches and schools, which to me wouldn't hurt me at all. You know, I drop my kid off. I drive away from school every day. At least once a week I think to myself, today's as good a day as any. Today's as good a day as any to have that nightmare. To have that nightmare that every parent has, right? The idea that someone figured out how to get into the school and they went in and they just started shooting. You know, and maybe your baby lived through it or maybe they didn't. But even if they lived through it, they didn't really live through it, right? That's not, you know, once an active shooter runs through a place, it's not like, even if you don't get shot, you still got shot. You know what I mean? You still have scars. So this idea of being able to patch people up, a really serious campaign on teaching people how to patch people up and carrying the things that really work when it comes to saving lives. You know, active shooters, they want the numbers and then they want to check out, right? If they find out that all of a sudden people are wrapping arms up in tourniquets and shoving quick-clock gauze in the bullet holes as soon as the shooter goes away, if people around those who are injured can render aid, serious, real aid, I think you got something there. And these are the types of solutions that preppers come up with. Because we're the only lunatics who carry around tourniquets. I don't know what it is. I don't want to diagnose myself. I don't really care. You know, for a long time I had to hide this. I had to pretend I wasn't this. And it was a nightmare for me. You know, I had to close off this portion of my life. Everything's fine. No, everything's not fine. Everything's not fine. And like I said in the Daily Audio Cache a few days ago, everyone's a prepper. It just takes a certain chain of events, right? Right now the CDC's recommending that everybody become a prepper all of a sudden. Overnight. I believe that our network and networks like, well, I don't know if there's any network like ours, but our network and other influential preppers in the genre and in the niche and in the community and in the culture, whatever you want to call it, have the ability, if we can keep it together through 2020, to stand out. And you know what? If you're out there listening, if you're involved with PrepperNet or if you're involved with any of these other prepping organizations or blogs or the type of thing like that, I think it's time that we start taking notes, that we start taking down successes and writing about data points and preppers go on the offensive because we're living through hell right now. Period. End of story. Categorical. We're living through hell right now. Right. We have nations that were on fire that are now being affected by a pandemic. Does anybody know the definition of pandemic? I keep hearing people in the media talking about, I think this has the potential to be a pandemic. Does anybody, I mean, I don't understand what they think a pandemic is. What kind of definition are they looking for to declare something a pandemic or not? I don't understand it. Right? If I look it up here, Is that the... I still got a rogue hamster. I'm trying to be... I'm not sure if that was him or not. Alright, if I look the word up, check it out. Pandemic. Prevalent over a whole country or the world. What's the problem? Prevalent over a whole country or the world. It's not prevalent all over the world? I mean, what do they mean by that? Does it have to be in every country in the world? prevalent all over the world come on we're living through a pandemic people are crazy well this could become a pandemic what the hell are you talking about how many more boxes do we have to check before we say yeah it's pandemic yep sure uh-huh the cdc said you better get your ass in gear it's pandemic come on stop being silly stop being silly what are we doing here by preserving the pandemic word so much Do we have to be dying on our last legs here? It is what it is, okay? It's all over the world. It's spread from China. China has serious problems. They have to convince the world that they didn't screw up and infect everyone because that's exactly what happened. It's exactly what happened. You know my theory, right? Somebody stumbled out of the lab in Wuhan. They didn't wash their hands. They didn't wash their clothes. They didn't change their boots. I don't know what they didn't do, but they didn't do it. And then they went and they had a blast for the Chinese New Year or something to that effect. And this virus started to spread. It came from that lab. A silly employee made a big mistake. China found out about it. They shut everybody out. They quarantined as many people as they could in hopes that it wouldn't spread. And then they even had the WHO change the name of the virus so that it wouldn't be traced back to them. But listen, we have to remember where this thing came from and how this started because I really do believe it was a screw-up by China. There's only one other theory for me, and it's darker than that. But I have to believe that this was a screw-up for China that is now affecting many nations and business around the world and the markets of the world. Now, do you think anybody's going to have a problem with that? Do you think Italy is going to be okay with we messed up big time in China? Do you think they're going to be okay when they say to themselves, oh, look at this, yeah, tourist revenue is trash all of a sudden. All of a sudden, I mean, if you had a private jet pool up out front of your house right now and they said one-way trip to Italy, you'd say, hell no, we won't go. That's what you would tell them. There's 300-some cases there now, I think, right? No, we're not going to Italy. Forget about it. So what else does Italy got? What do they sell? Olive oil? What do they have? If they don't have tourism, what do they have? Right? And they're looking over, leery-eyed at China saying, what have they done to us? And there's going to be a lot of other places in this world that are going to be looking at China the same way. China's in big trouble. I was listening to NPR today and they were Interviewing a lady who said that she was thinking about moving her warehouses out of China now. This is not something I can sustain again. It's a very interesting year in 2020. And I would like to see Preppers stand at the top of this thing. At the forefront of this thing, like we always are. Right? Like we always are. Man, you just have no idea. I'm not out here to prove a point or to prove somebody wrong or to get back at National Geographic or anything like that. It really is just about this fumbling of emergency preparedness that has been going on for 30 years in this nation. The threats are getting more and more dire and more and more people are realizing it and it's not moving the needle. It's not moving the needle. You know, they should be running out of five-gallon buckets and rice in this country. People should be stacking food in every corner and every orifice of their home. Everyone should be, right? You watch Christian the Ice Age Farmer. If you don't watch Christian the Ice Age Farmer, I actually was recommended him from Bear Independent, another great YouTube channel. But I found out about him through watching Bear, and I just, you know, Christian has just got it, man. He had just, he is a master of finding the stories, putting them together, and weaving them together in such a way, really. Just a master. The Ice Age Farmer, check him out. He's got a Patreon, too. Support him, too, right? You could probably support us both. You could probably support all three of us, Bear Independent, the Ice Age Farmer, and the Prepper Broadcasting Network for less than five bucks a month. For less than five bucks a month, you take power away from CNN and give it to people like us who are giving you actual news and entertainment that is not biased, not telling you you're a racist pig, not telling you you're a worthless cog in the, not telling you everything you believe is blasphemy. Just saying, you know, we're moving into an age where you have to stand up for what you believe in. And it's cliche, but we're reaching a time where you really have to now. Do you understand what I'm saying? I did a podcast with Stephen Menking over at On The Objective. Oh, Stephen Menking, by the way. Quick side note. Stephen Menking has for probably a year now, at least, given us some of the best content that you can get about About God and this generation. And our duties in this generation. As Christian people. Every Sunday. Like clockwork. With his help over at Reliance. You know. So Sunday we do our Reliance show. And I told you before. It was born out of my desire. To want to wake up on Sunday. And have a little sermon to listen to. While I drink coffee. It's very selfish. But. It's become incredible. It has become incredible. If you're not listening to Reliance on Sundays, you're missing out, man. It is the way to start the day. It really is. So I do that. And Steven has been like clockwork, man. Great. Not just like, let me phone one in for James real quick so he doesn't get upset with me or whatever. It doesn't bother me about it. Just the man is on fire with his faith. And you have to appreciate it. I reached out to him last week, because my original idea for Reliance was, let's get a bunch of different people to come in and talk about their faith. And do that on Sundays, and it'll be great, and we'll get to hear all kinds of different opinions and that type of thing. But Steven has taken such a grip on this show that I contacted him last week, and I said, can you just be the host? Can you just be the host of Reliance? Yes. And if someone else decides they want to come on, we can have a guest host that week. But you've owned this thing, man. You've owned this thing. You've taken it to the stars. Reliance is incredible. And I thank you, Steve, and you've been awesome. But I was on his show on The Objective, and we were talking about this in terms of Virginia. We were talking about how it's time to choose about three core things that you really support and believe in and really support and believe in them. Right? Right? It's not enough. It's not, you know, the, the two thousands, the early two thousands were bumper sticker and t-shirt time, right? It was like, let me get the snarky tee and the snarky bumper sticker and I'm supporting. I think those days are coming to an end. I think those days are, I think it's time for real support for what you believe in. It's time to join groups and meet with groups and meet with people and build communities so that When attacks happen in our Second Amendment, we can respond. When attacks happen, you know what I mean? These things aren't going away. These things aren't going away. And I would love to see preparation. at the forefront of this i just you know a lot of it has to do with the fact that you guys are some of the most intelligent well thought out strategic thinking people that i know i mean when i talk to the the real listeners of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. It's like, most of the time, I'm like, why am I doing my show? Like, what am I even doing? Why am I doing this? These people who are emailing me should be doing this show. You know what I mean? That's what I feel like. I get hit with imposter syndrome like crazy. It's like, man, these guys know so much. Why do they even listen to me? I'm 34 years old. These guys got it all under control. But I'm telling you, there's so much power and so much knowledge in prepping. It's unbelievable. But it will be tested in 2020. And you have to be prepared for the test. You have to be prepared to act. Because I think we're reaching a point with... All of these things coalescing. We haven't even begun to see riots over Bernie Sanders not getting the nomination or being beat by Donald Trump. When Donald Trump wins again, if he wins again, it's going to be pandemonium in this nation. You have to understand that. Even if you're sitting there going, why would anyone vote for anyone other than Donald Trump? Even if you're a dyed-in-the-wool supporter, you cannot forget. That the media has spent four years telling the world that this is the worst man, the greatest criminal of our time. And many people have been affected by that. Many people have been affected by that and they are going to take action if he gets four more years in office. It's not going to be pretty. The lead up, the summer is not going to be pretty, I can promise you that. I don't know what else could happen aside from the elections. But things are just so out of hand, I would not put it. I mean, we haven't really, because of the virus, we haven't really talked much about the locust takeover in Africa. The fact that the locusts in Africa are eating all the food. And that's going to come back to bite. We don't know what spring holds for the United States. What if we have another spring where nobody's planting again? 2020 will test you. Preppers, I mean. Joe Blow at the coffee machine at work, who is a week-to-week shopper, and if he doesn't go to the market, he doesn't have anything to eat. That's a whole other story. But I think us preppers will be tested this year. I really do. One of the things that I think we're going to be tested on is our ability to create a new frame and set for touching base with people. A new set and frame for communicating who and what we are. Really. I do think that. Because I think after this pandemic, we're going to have a new class of preppers. But I think it's time again for preppers to go on the offensive. I do. For the longest time, we've all agreed on the same thing. The more people who prep, the better off we'll be. It's time to go on the offensive, I think. For a long time, I've said this. Wear it like a badge of honor. Don't hide it. I know you think that in the fantasy apocalyptic world, that if you tell Joe Blow at the coffee machine that you're a prepper, that he's going to... When all of it goes to hell, the first thing he's going to think is, Oh, I remember that that guy told me that he was a prepper, so maybe I'll go to his house. First of all, does he know you well enough to know where you live even? And even if he knows you well enough to know where you live, do you think you're going to be the first thing on his mind when all hell breaks loose? No. In most cases, these people aren't even going to think of you. As long as you don't go around every day rubbing it in people's faces, you know? But if you have a sit down with people at a time like this and say, you know, this is why I do what I do. And you don't have to do any more than that. Well, what do you do? We prepare. We prepare for disasters. We are devoted to emergency preparedness. We are not going to be caught with our pants down in an emergency. And leave it at that. But I think it's time for the preppers to come out of the woodwork. I really do. I really do. I think the OPSEC thing has got to go. Is it risky? Sure, it's risky. Life is risky. Take risks. If you. If you're not taking risks, you're probably going to slit your wrists. How's that for a t-shirt? Because you'll be bored to death. Can I catch my breath for a minute? Where do we want to go from here? Where do we want to go from here? I want to talk about... I did want to do a little segment. A reality check, if you will, a la Michael Cline. Based on the Deontay Wilder. And Tyson Fury fight. Because. To watch Deontay Wilder. And Tyson Fury. Do you know who they are? Boxers heavyweight. To watch those giants fight. Is to remind yourself. Of the threats in the world. Is to remind yourself. Of. Your vulnerability. Your vulnerability. Your vulnerability. I think for the most part, we are too inundated with hero movies and action movies. And we see fantastic things happen in these movies that just don't happen in real life. And when you see a guy like Deontay Wilder who has a ballistic missile... For a right hand. And you see Tyson Fury. Who's. I think he's six foot nine. Yeah. I mean. Tyson Fury. Six foot nine. And he's got better footwork. Than probably. Everybody. I've ever sparred with. In my life. Right. Not to say that I've had this great. Resume of sparring with people. But I sparred with. MMA fighters. At an MMA gym. Near my home. And. These guys were young, they were fast, and they were light. So this guy is 6'9, and when you watch him move, it's just unbelievable to watch him move. But it's a constant reminder that those people are out there. You get in your quote-unquote kit. I hear people say that all the time. I wear my kit. Like, what kind of... Okay, that's fine. You got your kit on. You get in your kit and you feel like you're ready to take on the world. We watch Batman. We watch Iron Man. There are realities of combat that I think most people don't really understand. One of them is that we saw Hoist Gracie. He may have done more harm than good. But we saw Hoist Gracie choke guys out. bigger guys than him and he ignited the world when it came to jujitsu right people were like oh i gotta learn what he knows because he was tackling these guys and choking these big guys out okay i get that i get jujitsu i did that too look if i had more money i'd be doing it right now but it's expensive to be quite frank on top of everything else so it's not something that i do but i'll probably do it again There will probably come a time in my life where I do it again because it's fun. Jiu-Jitsu is a lot of fun. I never wrestled boys growing up. Never did it. I didn't have one friend that was like, hey, you want to wrestle? Yeah, let's wrestle. So wrestling was new to me. New to me at 27 or whenever I started in there. 28, I think. It was new to me. I was like, wow, look at this. This doesn't even make any sense. This is great fun. And you have a lot of fun doing it. And I'll probably do it again, like I said. But, you know, what do you say? I've done jiu-jitsu with big guys, and I've been flattened by them. Hoist Gracie was from one of the greatest families. Hoist Gracie was probably from the most important. No, he was from the most important family to fighting ever. then probably the most important family to fighting that will ever exist. But I don't want to go into the history of the Gracies. I just want to make out the point that if you're taking jiu-jitsu and you're doing really good and you're really physically fit and you run into a guy who can box, and he's 6'9 he's gonna beat you he's gonna beat you up a lot you know what I'm saying it's just gonna happen you know and the likelihood that you're gonna run into this guy and he'll be alone is a whole nother thing right Like you're not going to meet face to face in an alley and he's going to say, hey, we're going to fight now. He's probably going to have two guys with him. And I'll tell you what, man. I don't know about jujitsu with two, three guys. Jujitsu is awesome. There is no better way. Well, I don't know about that. There's no safer way to learn how to manipulate another human's joints, body, inertia, the whole nine yards. Than Jiu Jitsu. You don't take damage. You don't have to go through the rigors of high school wrestling. You show up. You do some shrimps. You do some stretches. You watch the instructor show you a technique. And then you have fun. With your buddies. It's a good time. It's an exhausting time. But it's a good time. Maybe you tap a couple guys. You feel like a rock star. You're going to get tapped a lot though. But anyway. It's all fun and games. When it's you. When it's you. and another guy, and you know 100%, nobody's going to come kick me in the head while I'm trying to lock this arm bar up. Nobody's going to come stab me in the side while I'm trying to, you know, darst choke this guy. There are realities when it comes to combat and fighting in real life, in real life situations without a referee, when it's not just a one-on-one opponent. Why am I going into this? Because we need this reality check Because things are going to be crazy in 2020 Because people are going to run into crazy situations Because people are going to take stands You know And it's just important to understand That we're a very vulnerable We're a very vulnerable Little species on this rock You know what I mean? You really are very vulnerable And it is what it is. I'm not saying you shouldn't be taking jiu-jitsu if you are. It's awesome. It's absolutely awesome. It's a great time. It shatters aggression. And you really do learn how to move people bigger than you. You learn how to handle them. For a time, depending on how good they are. It's like you can fight them off for a certain amount of time. And that's good. But if they're big, really big... Even if you're pretty good, man. And if they can punch, you know, that's the other secret about jiu-jitsu, right? It's like, well, I'll just lock my guard up with this guy and I'll just, you know, let him struggle until he gets a little tired and then start to do my thing. It doesn't work that way in an alley, right? In an alley, you're going to lock a guy up in his guard, he's going to start elbowing you in the forehead, punching you, right? Bite you maybe, you never know. You just have to be aware of the realities of combat when it comes to that. When I watched the fight, that was the big thing. It was like, oh, so there's no way I run into a Tyson Fury and have any chance at all. You're not going to punch the guy. You're not going to kick the guy. You're not going to take him down. You know what I mean? I mean, it's just what is what it is. That's the reality. So you got to plan for those things. You got to go plan for those things. And that's why it's so many people are hell bent on having more than one person, right? Having prepper groups and that type of thing, because they're there. It's called overwhelming force. And that's what that's what a guy like that is. If you run into one, you run into a guy like that when all hell is broken loose. It's called overwhelming force and you're unprepared for it. Right. I know you think. Everybody thinks they're going to draw their weapon and shoot somebody, right? I mean, yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, but if you're dealing with someone who wants what you have, it's a good chance they're not going to tell you about it across the street, right? When they're at 10 yards, 20 yards. Hey, I'm going to come beat you up now. No. Chances are they're going to round the corner right in your face. And give you no space and no room to reach back there and get your gun. And they're going to start pummeling you. And maybe two of their buddies are going too while they're at it. So, you know, not to scare you, not to terrify you, just to let you know. It's a mad, mad world out there. And I think 2020 is going to be, well, it's only going to get more mad or madder. Alright? I want you to understand that. I think most people who train jiu-jitsu are probably hypercritical of themselves anyway, right? It's kind of one of those things. You really can't spend your time covered in another sweaty man. And not be, you know, getting tapped out constantly, right? I mean, because for most people who go to jiu-jitsu class, you get tapped constantly. I mean, just what it is. It's just that thing. I would go, and if I left having tapped someone, it was like, oh, cool. If I left having dominated a position, then it was just, I didn't even really feel good about that. I just felt like, well, is that guy second class? He doesn't know what he's doing yet. Give him a couple weeks, he'll be tapping me. Because it's like that. It's like that. So combatives are important. Combatives are important, but also retreats are pretty damn important, too. You know, retreat can be a lifesaver. What were we talking about before I went into the Deontay Tyson Fury? Amazing. Well, you know, it is what it is. When you watch titans fight like that, it's a special thing. You know, it's a special thing when you see giants go to war like that. And, you know, it's just important to recognize those moments in life. Sit back, watch a fight. You have all kinds of epiphanies. That's what the dynamic lifestyle is all about. The I Am Liberty show is built on those four pillars. It's strong communities, healthy Americans, dynamic lifestyles, and self-reliance. That is what makes this show go. And speaking of strong communities, it may be time for a community talk. It may be time for you to reach out to community leaders, to allies in your community, that type of thing, and start discussing What the CDC said. You no longer have to hide it in your concerns. You don't have to say, you know, I think being a prepper, I think that then everybody goes, shut up, dude. You know, you could say the CDC says we need to be ready for severe disruptions in our lifestyle. So what does that look like? What does that look like at our community level? What if the community or the neighborhood adjacent to ours is not happy about disruptions in their lifestyle? And maybe that's a low-income neighborhood with people who got nothing but bad ideas. Right? These things we have to be ready for. I know you don't want to reach out to people and that type of thing, but listen. It's something we may have to do. It's probably worth doing. I said five big conversations you want to have with people for the coronavirus. I released that on Patreon. I'm going to release that on YouTube soon, so stay tuned for that. Um, but I didn't include community in neighborhood and that might be something I have to add, you know? All right, guys, the election preparedness campaign this week is about community. It is about just that topic. So that should be going out tomorrow. Uh, what else we got going on? The release of bunker beans. What are bunker beans? Uh, You want me to go into it? We're running out of time. Anyway, I'm going to get out of here soon. I don't know how long I've been recording. Let's have a look. Oh, yeah, we're right around an hour. That's all. I do my best work at an hour. I got a little too crazy and started doing two hours. And you know what? Two hours, 11 o'clock at night, I'm just too exhausted for it. It's not working. What are bunker beans? We're talking about resource shortages. We're talking about food shortages. We're talking about systems being affected by coronavirus. Don't let coffee be affected. You don't have to anymore. Because of our company, Disaster Coffee, we have access to a roasting company. That's why Disaster Coffee is so outstanding. Because I don't touch it. It goes from roaster to your house. Delicious. changed my life. Disaster coffee has changed my life. I drink regular coffee out of the 7-Eleven, and I'm like, oh yeah, that's why it's a dollar. You could just taste the difference. I'm a chef. Taste is big, you know? So, because I have access to the roaster, I said to myself, after talking to one of our great patrons, Wynn Parkinson, about green coffee beans in a long-term food storage situation, I came to the idea that that, oh, I got to get preppers. I got to get preppers their green coffee beans so they can store them in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for 10 to 15 to 20 years. You pull them green coffee beans out, you roast them yourself. because the fumes can be irritating. You roast them yourself, and then you have your own coffee. And that coffee can be roasted after year 5 or after year 20, if you store them properly, right? That's a solution to coffee. A solution to coffee is not, I'm going to buy a bunch of coffee and sit it in the cabinet until it's stale and tastes like sawdust. No thank you. No thank you. See, what you don't know is the roasting process is what brings out the caffeine. I didn't know that. The chemical reaction during the roasting process actually caffeinates the beans. There's no caffeine in them when they're green. Coffee's an amazing thing. It really is. But bunker beans are just that. It's a five-pound bag. No frills. Comes in a Ziploc bag straight from the roaster. Five-pound bag. of green coffee beans, raw, unprocessed coffee beans, okay? You can store them long-term. They can become part of your food storage plan, your barter plan, whatever you like, all right? You can get them at disastercoffee.com. You can get them now at disastercoffee.com, and I'd recommend you do so. I'm sitting here looking at a five-pound bag myself right now, Right now, a five-pound bag of green coffee beans that in this Ziploc bag, they'll probably last longer than they'll be around because I'm going to try to roast them up and see what it's all about. It's the breakfast blend. That's what we're offering, right? It's the breakfast blend of coffee. That's what it is. Five pounds. It's a flat price, 30 bucks, no shipping, right? So six bucks a pound for those green coffee beans. Without shipping, it's the best deal you're going to find if you want to store green coffee beans. You're not going to find anything better with no shipping, I can almost promise you. You're going to be able to find a better price per pound, but you're going to have to buy about 60 pounds, 65 pounds, okay? So, Bunker Beans, go to DisasterCoffee.com and start building your long-term coffee storage plan. Please, don't give it up, right? Don't give it up. You're going to need an edge. You're going to want an edge, and caffeine gives us all that edge. Just imagine what a force you will be if everyone else is dying for that cup of coffee and you got it, right? So the other thing I want to do in regards to disaster coffee is I want to create a new flavor. I want to create a new flavor or a new coffee in general, right? So I'd love to get your ideas on that. We'll probably run a little something, a little campaign or something to that effect. I'm ready to add another one. Maybe another single origin. Another robust coffee. Or maybe we'll do a six bean or something to that effect. I don't know. I don't know. With disaster coffee, there's so much potential, you know. It's really no sweat off my back to add as many coffees as we want from as many different places as we want. We could have like 20 flavors if we really wanted it. You know, we could make a PBN flavor. We could make an I Am Liberty flavor. We could make an EF5, which I would like to do. You know, we could start naming them after certain organizations. All that. All of it. We could do it all with Disaster Coffee. What else? Patreon.com slash PBN. Please come visit us over at Patreon. It makes a world of difference. Like I said, the best birthday gift I got. from the Prepper Broadcasting Network Fellowship. Had to be. Ben, the breaker of the banksters, hitting me with his $ 2 Patreon sign-up. $ 2 for the man, right? Every month, he's going to have $ 2 get sucked out of his bank account, and he's going to go, huh? What happened? What was that? Right? No big deal. Two bucks. It's nothing. It's like six cents every day or something. I don't know. Pocket change. Come on. pocket change two dollars you probably give it off to the homeless give it to me no it makes a world difference guys we pay the bills and we keep this thing solving and i hope to one day get as met enough patrons out there that we can start really paying some people to to keep the upkeep the website at the highest level and and book guests and organize things for me a little better in the whole nine yards you know it's all possible this network is This network has a lot of room for growth, man. A lot. You know, we could start video. We could be doing video shows with guests. You have no idea. There are no limits to the Intrepid Commander's dreams. I can tell you that much. That's the deal. Yeah. I think that's it. Patreon.com slash PBN. If you want to boost... I'll give you this little tip in terms of Disaster Coffee. But if you want a boost of positivity in your life, come follow at Disaster.Coffee at Instagram. I got contact with you guys anyway, so I'm not trying to get you over there to sell you more coffee. Oh, by the way, over at Patreon, I started a tier. This might attract some of you who aren't too sure about Patreon. I started a tier over at Patreon that is essentially a coffee subscription. It's called the Coffee Cash. It's $ 30 per month. You support the network. And you get coffee delivered regularly every month. Go check it out. Patreon.com slash PBN. I forgot all about that. A new tier. Yeah, it's for the coffee lovers. Alright, it's the most expensive tier we have. But that's because it adds the cost of coffee sent to you each month. I think it's bi-weekly. Bi-weekly 12-ounce bag of coffee plus support for the network. It's big. It's definitely big. But I think that's it, folks. I think that's it for the I Am Liberty show. I'll just keep rambling on and keep marketing to you if I don't stop. Listen, the coronavirus is here. And it's sticking around. And it's going to be around. And you're going to be okay because you're ready for it. You're prepared for it. Now is the time to Prepare your creature comforts to make it easy. Try to make it easy on yourself, right?

We're all going to be tested in 2020. And the goal is very simple. I want to be here in December... And I want to have a list of accomplishments that Preppers... Accomplishments, achievements, whatever it is that Preppers have provided our society with through this rough year. Solutions, products, services, podcasts, articles, whatever it is. How has the Preppers shaped this radical year of 2020? Listen, we are... Entering a new era for the I Am Liberty Show. This has been on the back burner, this show, for a while. For a while, I've been getting up here and trying my best not to make this a prepper broadcasting network infomercial. Okay? And for those of you who love the I Am Liberty Show, we are creating a new focus here. Okay? We are getting back to the I Am Liberty Show as it was. We're getting back to having fun and really yakking. And I've got a new tagline for the I Am Liberty show. All things in moderation. Because we discuss all things. But that said, I'm out of here, folks. Check out the new logo. Like I said, we might bring back the old I Am Liberty intro. The whole thing. It's time to focus on this show again. Now that the Prepper Broadcasting Network is a full steam ahead monolith. All right. And that's because of you. And that's because of you great patrons, too. All right. We'll talk soon.
