War Forever...

The conflict with Iran is entering its 36th month. Iran has been completely disarmed for almost the entire war, but somehow they're still shooting rockets off of rocket launch sites. We've won the war 16 times over, yet we're still over there. The Strait of Hormuz is safe, yet we're still filling it with our Navy. PBN family, anybody tired of the... Just tell me what's going on with Iran. Donald, Donnie, what's really going on? But tell me. Tell me this real strategy. Just tell us the real strategy here. Right. Please. Are we waiting for the Iranian people to rise up? It'll never happen. Some people, as I mentioned, some people don't rise. OK, and I mean this collectively. I mean, this nationally nations, some nations, the people in those nations don't rise. They've been beaten into submission. They killed 40,000 of them in the streets a year ago or whatever it was. You know what I mean? It's a different thing. They're not in America. They don't have guns. You've got to wrap your head around this, right? I hear things about the Kurds. I hear things about the turds. I don't know. I'm done with it. Let's wrap it up. Let's get the hell back home, right? I think we've made our point to Iran pretty clearly. Here's an idea. Don't give these people money anymore. And then we can avoid these wars altogether. Don't help them rebuild. They're not going to rebuild. They're going to rebuild rocket launchers. We did the same thing in Palestine. What are we doing? PBN family, these political rants are moving to the supporter side of the podcast. These one-off. If it's a political-based show or if it's a show built around a hard truth, we're always going to discuss the hard truth. But these sort of rants that I have to have, you know what I mean? I just have to have them. But because of what we're doing at PBN now, because of the overall content scope, like, I don't know. I know there's a group of you out there who really enjoy me ranting about all these things. And look, there are important conversations we had about politics for sure. We got to have them. And I, you know, there will be a decision process. Don't worry. But I've decided that if it's going to be one of these long-winded political rants, Then we're going to move it over to the membership side going forward. Just because. I don't know. It feels to me like the right thing to do. I'm pushed and pulled in certain directions by more than just analytics, by more than just funds. So to me it makes sense. It's easy. The supporters side at Spreaker is pretty easy to manage. It's a great way for me to throw podcast content in there just for supporters, right? The PBN membership is going away probably within a month or two at the most. I'm getting like, without even knowing it's going away, I have gotten a waterfall of people who need, particularly those who are paying $ 60 per year, who are tapping out of the PBN membership. And for money reasons, for financial reasons. And it started happening late last year, which put me on this idea of the supporter side and then also the Red Beacon Media one-time payment. Because I don't want people to lament PBN. You know what I mean? That's the last thing I want. The last thing I want is for people to be like, oh my God, here comes a $ 60 bill from PBN for my annual membership. If you don't got it, you don't got it. You know what I mean? email me now and cancel now I do not want to be there's so much for people to worry about these days the last thing I want to be is the thing that you're worrying about in the in the future you're not going to hurt my feelings don't worry about it okay so that's where my head is at with all of this now I uh the membership side or supporter side rather on Spreaker you can sign up On Spreaker, just look up Prepper Broadcasting Network. I think we have a link down below. Maybe not. I might have moved it. It's really easy to sign up. It's $ 5 a month, and it also removes all the ads. So you have no more ads on the podcast once you're a supporter. So if you don't like the ads, it's a pretty easy way out. It's a good service. That's why I'm keeping it. I think it makes sense. I think it's definitely affordable. I look at my own financial picture, and I say to myself, what do I spend five bucks on? Do you know what I mean? Like, what could I cut if I needed to put five bucks into the PBN supporter side? And, uh, it wouldn't be tough. You know what I mean? It wouldn't be tough for me to find something silly to put five bucks into. Uh, so I feel like, you know, it's not, it's not insane for me to ask that of you. If you want to listen to the podcast without ads, which generate us a lot of money, the ads do. Um, And to also put a bunch of content on the membership side or on the supporter side. So that's where these things are going to live going forward. I'm not trying to lure you over there. I'm not trying to say my political rants are so good that you're only going to get them if you pay for them. Like I said, if it's a politically based show, like a Surviving America on whatever topic, right? That's not what I mean. What I mean is a disorganized sort of wreck of a show where James bounces from one topic to another topic to a totally different topic and gets lost and talks halfway about that topic before jumping into a new one and you wanted to hear him finish up about the last. It's a certain kind of podcast that exists in the PBN proper. And, well, quite frankly, like, the shows that we pull from the archives are... phenomenal right the the daily interviews that we're doing all through september are very orderly and nice and perfect and i'm not looking to turn pbn into something orderly and perfect either because you know it's me but all that said man there are some shows that are just so much chaos and anarchy that i don't know i think there's a certain group of you that like them and they're you guys are probably supporters or or you will be supporters right You'll say to yourself, let's kick the ads out. Let's get the good, the bad, and the ugly and get the supporter side. And the supporter side is also chock full. It's pages long of great podcasts on all kinds of topics, prepping related and beyond, really. So this is just a heads-up podcast for that because I feel myself, guys, all the time wanting to go for the phone and wanting to start bitching and moaning. You know, there's a very real sort of Virginia politics nerve in me that is burning. And that may become a show for everyone. Some sort of spinoff or build off the mother of mayhem. Because Virginia politics right now is just so unbelievable. It's unreal. You know, it really is. Like people would say, Virginia is going to become the new California. And it's here. You know what I mean? It's here. Except for the guns. But I'm talking the sheer, like, irrationality, idiotic, you know, use of the political influence. It's here. And it's crazy to watch. So that could be a thing. That type of a political show is not something that will wind up on the supporters' side. But, you know, if I'm going to get on and just vomit from the mouth about all the things that are new and interesting and, you know, a pain in the ass and whatever... Those things will likely wind up on the supporters' side, so head over there. Particularly consider it for those of you who are or were members who are either getting out of it because we're shutting it down or getting out of it because it's not something you wanted to deal with on the $ 5 a month side. I'm sorry, the $ 60 a year side. But it's a good opportunity, like I said. If you're listening to the ads and you don't like listening to the ads. And I try to limit the ads. You know, I really do. On shows that are like 20 to 30 minutes, I try to limit it to one ad in the show. If it's over an hour, I put like a couple ads in it, a couple ad sections in the show. Sometimes they have two ads in one and then one ad in the other. It's just, it is what it is, man. I don't know what to tell you. You know what I mean? The network, you know, costs money to run. And the ads are, you know, on the revenue side, they're really good. I wish I could manage them more in terms of, like, can we run certain types of ads? I don't really like hearing the casino ads on PBN. That makes me a little pissed off. And, you know, I haven't reached out and asked, and that's a really important thing, right? It's really important for people to understand. Rather than bitching about a thing, you probably should ask. So maybe I should ask Donald Trump politely to wrap this war in Iran up. What do you think? Just wrap this thing up. so we can move on? Because I feel like I'm stuck between a completely irrational Democratic base and Democratic leadership and Democratic Party. Just totally and completely irrational. Just like the height of irrationality. None of it makes sense to me. But then on the other side, I have a guy who is, you know, he's done a lot of great things. I mean, epic things for the future of this country. I'm not denying that. But the sort of hyper positivity on everything that he does is a little annoying. You know, the over the top sort of glaze, as the kids would call it, on everything that the man does. It'll wear you out. You know what I mean? It'll be like, I hear what you're saying. But I'm seeing something that looks exactly the opposite. Who are you going to believe? Me or your own eyes? That's the Donald Trump thing, right? Like, Iran is mid-attack and he's saying, you know, the war's over. Don't you worry about it. We're bringing the troops. It's done. It's a done deal. It's over. I don't know. I found it more beneficial just to not engage the brain anymore. To engage the brain in the things of value only. I'm starting to wonder if dementia and Parkinson's and all this stuff is simply born out of the fact that, like, the longer you're on the planet, the more you fill your head with stuff. Right? There's got to be limits, right? It's a bowl. It's not a bottomless pit. So, I don't know. We'll have to see. We shall see. So, PBN family, you've got enough to listen to today. Please, try. Just try one of those essential provisions. They're amazing. We've had them as a sponsor before in the past. They weren't really popular with you guys. But beyond just food storage, like a real heat and ready meal. Like if you're pulling meals from the freezer and heating them up for dinner, you're probably spending the same amount of money as you would be for an essential provisions meal that's going to give your... kid you know or your husband or your whoever you 500 grams of or 500 plus calories and like 19 what was it 22 grams of protein something like that grass-fed grass-finished unbelievable bison protein stuff's good man you know what i mean um stay tuned too by the way you know we're doing this all month i'm really proud of what we're doing for national preparedness month i think we've got a lot uh We've got a lot of people in the chamber to share with you, you know, and that's one of the things that I don't do enough of either because guess what? Sometimes I'm over here doing shows where I'm complaining about the Democrats or the Virginia Democrats or Donald Trump or the price of living in the United States, right? I think there's a place and time for that, but I also think there's a priority shift that has to happen here at PBN because prepping is not just prepping for disaster anymore, guys. Like, we... Between preppers and homesteaders, we are the infrastructure for the new style of living and surviving in the United States. And I just think that my mission, my personal mission is not to be on a microphone yapping about this one and this new story and another illegal murder and this and that and the other thing. There's a time and place for it. I think the place for it is on the supporter side. Um, and I don't want it to get in the way of really innovative and really awesome things that are happening out there in the world that'll actually really help you, right? It'll help you way more if you stock your shelves with essential provisions or even just stock your camping bags or your hunting bags this year with essential provisions than it will to hear James lament, you know, Abigail Spanberger for 15 minutes, right? So I'm trying to draw that balance. This is my best move. I hope you guys appreciate it and understand that, you know, what we do here matters. And I'm really proud of it. And I think we are, to me, it feels like we are kind of molding ourselves with the programming and the current situation with PBN into a really valuable and important entity for whatever kind of revolution we're in right now, right? We're in some kind of revolution right now. We're in the human beats corpo revolution. The human beats politics revolution. The human beats AI revolution. The human takes, you know, it's almost like in order to have something like an artificial intelligence, you have to have that same level of power on the human side, right? Or at least a power comparable to keep things in balance, right? A self-reliant and independent humanity that is not, you know, almost drug along or stuck in between human and AI, right? As the AI powers, so too must the human animal. And I think, from what I can tell, right, the homesteading world, the prepping world, maybe even the Christian world, is the least adulterated by places like Hollywood and every other sort of portal to hell that you know of, right? And I want to try and keep it that way. All right, folks. I appreciate you. I'll talk to you soon.
