What if TODAY was THE DAY

[00:00:00] You are listening here to PBM. Your path back was to be ready here.

[00:00:30] Happy Friday morning PBM family. Just as Dave Jones predicted a few days ago in the signal chat, he said Friday was the day for Israel.

[00:00:47] He said Friday be the day for Israel and the man was right. The power of allies, the power of groups, the power of communication, PBM family, the relationships that the host and I have, the information and expertise that we share with one another.

[00:01:08] And most of the time share with you, it's a reminder of the power. When you think about people in an SHTF or collapse sort of situation, you're often thinking like gun power. You know what I mean? Man power.

[00:01:25] But there's a lot more to it than that. There's a heck of a lot more to it than that. Don't even get me started on support, right?

[00:01:34] Like don't even get me started on the support. The reason in fact that Dave Jones, and I guess I can divulge this to you now. The reason that Dave Jones broke it all down today or broke it all down for me a couple of days ago is because I don't always talk about this stuff on air because to me it's personal number one.

[00:02:04] Especially in the moment for security purposes and Opset purposes. I'm not a big fan of it detailing it. But my wife set out on an essentially a business trip the day after the missile strike, the original missile strike from Iran.

[00:02:25] So you can imagine how the intrepid commander has been feeling all week. She's been gone all week. Guess what day she's coming home?

[00:02:34] Yes, exactly. Travel day today. So there's a reason and that's not the only reason but there's a reason you haven't been hearing from me.

[00:02:43] You know what I mean? There's a reason that there was an I am Liberty rerun and a bunch of reasons. The world of ready is another huge reason.

[00:02:53] The world of ready is, well, it's ready. The world of ready is finally ready folks.

[00:02:59] And filling out information and creating book descriptions and all that kind of stuff is a reminder of what this book is really meant to be.

[00:03:08] But not to get off topic just yet. You'll hear plenty about that.

[00:03:15] This is the world we're living in right now, right? For those unaware, you may be unaware it's not big news because this strike was very limited.

[00:03:24] But Israel struck Iran overnight and you know, my gut feeling and again I could be wrong but my gut feeling.

[00:03:37] My gut feeling is, you know, we have to punch each other in the stomach.

[00:03:46] I really do feel like that may be what is going on here. You know?

[00:03:52] I think that Israel is going to wind up winning in this sort of gut check exercise.

[00:04:01] I really do and that's what I feel like it is. I feel like it's a saving of face in the face of all parties, right?

[00:04:10] So in other words, I get generals and important people from the Revolutionary Guard. That's Israel talking.

[00:04:19] Tehran says well for the world because the world's watching, right? Because remember these countries care with the world things unlike Joe Biden who does almost nothing.

[00:04:28] Or it looks disheveled and depressed and everything.

[00:04:34] Other countries care with the world, season what the world thinks. And they care with their allies, see and think and what their enemies see and think.

[00:04:43] So you know, Tehran says okay well we will show you.

[00:04:49] Now the question of course is what if something crazy happened in all 300 of those drones and missiles made it to Israel, right?

[00:05:03] Made it to Israel. To me it seems like Iran knew we're going to send a force but it's not a force they can't deal with, right?

[00:05:13] Our burden is not too much for them to bear. They were essentially humiliated, you know, if that wasn't, if the purpose wasn't to be to have all their weapons shot out of the sky, they were essentially humiliated on the world stage.

[00:05:29] To some degree. You have to think of it that way. But maybe in their head it was like look we can reach you, we can touch you.

[00:05:36] Maybe if we hit you with a serious, or maybe it was. Maybe it really was.

[00:05:44] Iran saying we're going to give you a serious attack. This is a serious attack, cyber attack and then followed by, you know, serious amounts of missiles.

[00:05:53] And maybe they were surprised at wow, we did almost nothing.

[00:06:00] Because it is kind of impressive. There's no way, you know. All that said, Israel said we're going to do something.

[00:06:09] Now what I don't know is this strike seemed very, very limited, seemed very, very focused on a particular military target adjacent to the nuclear facility from what I've read.

[00:06:24] And you know, to me it reminds me a lot of this. This was my, when I read this, but when I read the story of what Israel did, what came to mind and I don't know how many of you out there watch combat sports.

[00:06:41] Probably a lot. It's very popular, but we watch a lot of combat sports in my household. We love it.

[00:06:47] One FC baby, forget about the UFC. One FC is where it's at. But anyhow, on Prime Video Free, yeah, you can watch one FC on Prime Video Free there like every other weekend they got in the event.

[00:07:00] All around the world, fighters from the whole world. Anyway, if you see two people, particularly two people who are dominant in striking and those strikers are going against each other,

[00:07:15] you'll notice in the beginning of the fight, they don't come out just throwing bombs. A lot of times they'll come out with their hands up and they'll move into each other slowly and their heads will be conducting head movement, right? Heads will be going back and forth.

[00:07:31] They'll be throwing a lot of feints. They'll be pretending to throw jabs and crosses. You know, you'll see sometimes as much as a full minute I've seen it go even longer.

[00:07:42] I remember the fight between Anderson Silva and... I'm not going to remember this guy's name right now.

[00:07:51] Anderson Silva, he's a legend, an MMA legend, Anderson Silva, but the guy I'm thinking about is also.

[00:07:57] And he hit... He front kicked this guy in the face and knocked him out. I think it was the first strike of the fight, but it was one of those fights where it was just a feeling out process.

[00:08:15] And a lot of striking bouts, a lot of battles like that start with a tremendous feeling out process, man.

[00:08:24] Like it's just this consistent throw a little jab here, see what he does. I'll take a step forward, I'll stop my lead foot down and see what he does.

[00:08:34] I'll, you know, I'll right cross and see what he does. I'll throw a leg kick and see how he moves and see which side he circles to and see what his head movement's all about and see what his distance is and see how close he'll let me get and how close he'll get to me and all these little micro calculations, PBN, FEM.

[00:08:55] And once the fighters get this dialed in, that's when the real fight actually starts.

[00:09:02] You know what I mean? So, what I see with all this striking is just that. I'm sorry, what I see with all these airstrikes between Iran and Israel, these two airstrikes.

[00:09:17] To me it looks like just that. It looks like two fighters feeling each other out. You know, they're not fighting yet.

[00:09:26] They're not fighting yet. They're feeling each other out. They're looking at defenses. They're looking at what they're going to do if I send 300 drones.

[00:09:35] What they're going to do if I send a limited airstrike to one of their military bases, how they respond, do they respond?

[00:09:41] What's the mentality of the leadership when we conduct an attack like this?

[00:09:45] And now look, if you're in the military, this might, or if you spent time in the military, this might sound like no duh.

[00:09:50] Right? I don't know. I'm just telling you, in my gut that's what I see between these two nations.

[00:09:58] I don't see nations, but I was wrong last time. But I don't see nations ready to just bite down on the mouthpiece and start going to war right now.

[00:10:08] That's not what I see. It might be close, but it looks to me like we're still filling each other out.

[00:10:14] We've got to see what we can get away with, what we can't get away with.

[00:10:19] We've got to see, you know, because remember the truth of the matter is Iran's been attacking Israel forever.

[00:10:28] Right? Iran has had proxies attacking Israel since October.

[00:10:34] But this direct conflict, you know, so all that said push all that nonsense aside.

[00:10:44] I want you to think about today because this is what I'm thinking about today.

[00:10:49] What are your streams of intelligence worldwide? First and foremost, are they effective?

[00:10:56] How are you going to know? And when are you going to know that, oh my God, this thing has gone to the next level and I need to take action?

[00:11:05] And what does that look like? Right? So who are you listening to? What do you watch and what do you have on the radio and so on?

[00:11:11] That'll let you know Iran nuked Israel. You know what I'm saying? I don't think that'll happen.

[00:11:21] I really don't think that'll happen. I still think mutually assured destruction is a thing, you know.

[00:11:29] And even if it's not the entire world going up in a nuclear ball of flames, I think any nation that uses a nuke understands that they're going to get nuked.

[00:11:37] And look, if the holiest of holy suicide bomber nations, which is Iran, the ones with the greatest willingness to essentially sacrifice human life for the cause of Allah.

[00:11:54] If that nation isn't willing to make that sacrifice, it's hard for me to imagine that any nation is because it's the reality.

[00:12:01] It's also a very important point when you hear the U.S. talk about what they will and won't do for Israel.

[00:12:13] I was thinking about this on the drive this morning. The truth is, America will do whatever it has to do to protect Israel.

[00:12:24] And you might look at that and go, oh well that's because we are such good allies with Israel. I don't know if that's why.

[00:12:34] I mean I'm sure it has something to do with it. But imagine if Hezbollah takes over Israel or imagine if Iran takes over Israel.

[00:12:44] In other words, they bashed the military enough over the years that they can make their way in and hostile takeover, maybe multiple factions.

[00:12:56] Imagine what happens. What do they gain control of, PBN family? Think about it. Raise your hands, class.

[00:13:03] What could a group like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis or even Iran get their hands on that sets Israel apart from other nations militarily? Correct.

[00:13:19] Correct. Now they have nukes. It's not a myth of nukes, it's not a reactor, it's not a process for creating nukes, it's not where three months away from a nuke.

[00:13:31] It's now we have nukes. Now we have the Israeli nukes and America can allow that to happen.

[00:13:37] So no matter how mad they get at Israel, I think it's important to understand. Even if it is an offensive, even if it has nothing to do with defensive strategy, the U.S. has to protect the Israeli interests because you can't let anybody take over Israel and get their hands on Israeli nukes.

[00:13:56] But again, back to you. Today's a very good day. You have a lot of motivation to sit down and think to yourself what an interruption in daily operations would look like? What an emergency interruption in daily operations would look like?

[00:14:13] Because today is young. It could become a reality, it might be a good headspace to be in. What would that look like for you? If you were listening to news, if we popped up on PBN and said we're not 100% sure but we're getting news out of somewhere that Iran is all for the

[00:14:43] proxy factions are striking Israel at this moment and there's word that Russia has launched ICBMs from their ship in the Red Sea. Powers out in Israel and the enemy is moving in, you know? And Russia's standing guard.

[00:15:03] This is the World War III scenario everybody's concerned about and it's terrifying. But it could very much become a reality quick, right?

[00:15:15] So for me, or what if this is what I was thinking about this morning? Packing up lunches. You know what I mean? A normal dad I guess is packing up lunches and he's like bills to pay, calls to make. I'm thinking.

[00:15:33] So if we start to get blanketed with cyber attacks, it's probably time to go get the kids. Go pick the kids up early from school and watch the world and see what the hell is going on.

[00:15:49] But to sit around and wait might not be the best strategy, right? Have everybody splintered all over the area. So you get back into that process of taking the family. Well it's basically the reassembling of the family.

[00:16:08] You always want to stay ahead of that. You always want to stay ahead of the reassembling of the family, right? Like before they go, oh my God this news is unbelievable and it's going to drive the public insane and the roads are going to collapse because they're going to be packed at a standstill because of the chaos.

[00:16:26] Like before all of that you want to be moving into your assemble the family plan for whatever is going to follow up after that. But at the very least you want everybody at home, right? At the very least you want everybody back to survival headquarters.

[00:16:43] Can't conduct a bug out if there's a bunch of people spread out all over. Can't do anything.

[00:16:49] So today's a good day to walk over that and walk through that in your head. Maybe think about some factors, some trigger points that would make you say, you know what? What's this latter half of school really going to do for my kid today?

[00:17:07] Is he missing out on something amazing or not? You know what I mean? And yeah, that's the way you go with it. You can learn a lot from that and hopefully we don't find ourselves in a position where we need to take advantage of something like that or not take advantage of it but deal with something like that.

[00:17:28] But it's a good time to see what that looks like. Who do you get first? Who do you get second? What happens if getting the first kid or the second kid, the real crazy stuff starts happening and you can't get to the third kid? Do you have a plan in place for that? What about a spouse?

[00:17:44] How do you get a spouse home if they're landlocked or traffic locked? Do you guys have at least an agreed upon walking route and maybe an alternate walking route to say, nine times out of ten I'm coming home this way.

[00:18:06] If you can get a neighbor to watch the kids, you could come meet me so that I'm not traveling alone or whatever if that's a risk you want to take. I don't know.

[00:18:18] All of this stuff about the reassembly of the family is far too personal, far too unique to your situation for me to give you a blanket answer on how to conduct it.

[00:18:28] I would say while you're the owner of the best possible operating method, you've got to craft that. I would say there are some worst practices and a worst practice is let's figure it out when it happens.

[00:18:51] A worst practice is let's do it on the fly. Let's try to communicate when all the communication is down. Let's try to travel when the travel routes are swollen and shutting down.

[00:19:06] Let's try to figure out which way people are going to come home so we can maybe try to meet them or something along those lines. Let's try to figure out who's going to help us if we have a lot of kids or people who need looked after.

[00:19:20] Let's wait until it happens before we figure out who those people are that can help us.

[00:19:26] All of these things can be set aside on a day like today. You can sketch them down on a notepad and say grandma's going to come over. We're going to drop the kids off at grandma. Whatever the situation is.

[00:19:39] And that's how we're going to deal with that. Right?

[00:19:42] You know, we all pray that this day never comes. We all pray that we never find ourselves in a situation where oh my god now I have to gather the family together because the world has changed forever again.

[00:20:02] And we don't know what the future will hold.

[00:20:05] But if a situation like that strikes man, you better have a plan. You better have a game plan.

[00:20:15] It's kind of what I'm getting at today folks. No PBN Daily news set up. None of that kind of stuff we're talking.

[00:20:21] I mean we really are talking, you know.

[00:20:32] We really are talking about, sorry I had to get over there in traffic, cops, whole nine yards. You know how it is.

[00:20:42] We really are talking about these sort of surprise events that we all worry about.

[00:20:49] And it's a system that can be written down in a book and shared with the family.

[00:20:54] It's an afternoon. It's an evening sit-down to explain the situation.

[00:21:01] What will come of us PBN family? What will come of this experience man?

[00:21:10] Can we fend off World War 3? Is World War 3 a ploy to keep Joe Biden in office?

[00:21:17] I can't help but think that. You know what I mean? I can't help but think that all this tension is there as maybe not a primary plan, maybe not an alternate plan,

[00:21:26] but maybe a contingency plan to say our illegal attacks on Donald Trump to basically accuse him of doing everything and anything he's ever done in his life.

[00:21:44] Right? And creating some things while we're at it.

[00:21:48] If that fails, then we may have to consider keeping Joe Biden in office, you know.

[00:21:56] In order to keep Joe Biden in office we may need to turn the volume up on this World War.

[00:22:04] Let's turn the volume up in the Middle East. Let's turn the volume up in Ukraine. Let's turn the volume up in the Pacific.

[00:22:08] We've got many options. We've got a whole lot of tuning we can do to drive a nation over the top and say, well, you know, it's really not a good time for a presidential change right now.

[00:22:22] If you don't think they're thinking that way you're not paying attention. And it's not just politicians who are thinking that way by the way.

[00:22:29] There are plenty of people driving around in cars around me right now. I'm sure that they're thinking, I don't care what happens, we cannot have Donald Trump as president again.

[00:22:40] I mean, I've heard people say it. There is no way we can have that man as president again.

[00:22:49] And if something like that were to break out I think the end would justify the means in their head.

[00:22:53] Wild Times PBN family. Wild, wild times. You know? It is what it is. I am stuck in that world that just is a mirror maze.

[00:23:10] It's like looking through a portal into a different dimension. That's what it's like. And it's like that for a lot of Americans by the way.

[00:23:19] You know, a lot of Americans have good things going for them. They've got a good life. They've done the work to make things work.

[00:23:26] And it's really strange to exist in this world where you look around and you're like, I don't know what tomorrow will hold but if it's up to me it's going to be a nice day.

[00:23:36] So, meanwhile they look through the portal and they see that so many nations are quibbling and fighting and battling and warring and considering war.

[00:23:50] You know? It's a wild, wild time. That's just what it is.

[00:23:57] All you can do is build that base of preparedness and self-sufficiency.

[00:24:02] Build your networks of people. I want to go back to where I started before I end this broadcast and just remind you.

[00:24:11] This is a time of great anxiety. You have to favor the things that lessen that anxiety.

[00:24:21] And you guys, the hosts, the conversations I have with the people that I know in the prepping world.

[00:24:29] You know, these are the things that really lessen that anxiety level.

[00:24:36] Prepping does. Having things in place really does. Waking up and seeing threats and going, well we're ready for that.

[00:24:42] You know what I mean? If that happens we're ready for that.

[00:24:46] The FBI released a statement 11 hours ago, I guess 13 hours ago now that I read this morning about, you know, China's everywhere in the cyber world in American infrastructure.

[00:25:00] Again, they've said something again. They've come out and said it again and this time they said they're ready.

[00:25:05] They're readying a devastating blow. I think it's quote-on-quote a devastating blow.

[00:25:12] I don't have the story in front of me, but I'm almost 99% sure that's what it is.

[00:25:21] You know, I wrote by God's will. Don't forget, I didn't write off-grid survival projects because I'm such a genius that I was like, yeah the world's going to need this.

[00:25:35] I was hired to write that book by a client who I love and it's been with me a very long time.

[00:25:41] And, you know, that's the full story.

[00:25:45] Like I was brought in to write that book and I would, you know, it was a great opportunity and I had a blast writing it and God, I garnered a lot of preps off of it as well.

[00:25:56] But it wasn't because I saw all this coming, you know, that I made this decision.

[00:26:01] So I pushed this book on you guys. I pushed this book on my Instagram page. I pushed this book on everybody.

[00:26:13] Because I know that in little fits and spurts or maybe all at once, somehow we're going to be faced with the reality that, oh well, I guess that's the truth.

[00:26:31] I guess the situation now, right? I guess the situation is, Internet's out for a week.

[00:26:38] I guess the situation is the power grid has been hacked. I guess the situation is, and here's the most alarming one to me guys.

[00:26:46] The most alarming one to me is, you know, power gets affected, that's fine.

[00:26:50] The internet gets affected, that's fine. At least you can understand my internet ain't working. It's because China's in there. Somebody's in there, right?

[00:26:56] The power grid isn't working. Okay, we got to deal with that. The one that concerns me the most, the one that scares me the most is water.

[00:27:05] Because a consistent stream of low level cyber attacks on the water system will create something. It will create...it will destroy trust in public water.

[00:27:19] And they don't have to shut the water off. You understand? They just need people to die a little bit.

[00:27:29] They need us to get so overwhelmed with the cyber attack on water, cyber attack on water, cyber attack on water.

[00:27:35] Oh, water borne illness outbreak. Please boil your water. Cyber attack on water. Oh chemical mix up.

[00:27:42] You know, they put chemicals into the water in varying degrees to clean it.

[00:27:49] In Florida, I talked about this many times but it's worth talking about. In Florida two, three years ago now, it might have been 2020.

[00:27:59] I think it was an Iranian backed hacker or something like that. I can't remember all the details. It's been a while.

[00:28:05] But the important details is that they basically raised the amount of lie going into the water.

[00:28:19] And they raised it to a level that would have been deadly. Now the operator caught it and fixed it.

[00:28:28] But it's an example of what can happen and how quickly it can happen. And imagine in a nation overwhelmed or a nation at war or maybe a nation full of people.

[00:28:38] Guys, they're in here. A nation full of people who see a mistake like that and say, well...I don't like my neighbors that much anyway.

[00:28:46] They're all pro-Israel, pro-Trump. Right? You don't think that mines are being manipulated in that way.

[00:28:54] Right now, people are being so brainwashed that they are standing strong with Hamas and Iran in the streets of the United States of America.

[00:29:05] You can't...it doesn't get much worse. I mean, barring a Kim Jong-un t-shirt? Like it doesn't get much worse.

[00:29:14] Waving the North Korean flag? It really can't get much worse. Do you know what I mean?

[00:29:18] Like these are the things that are happening. This is the situation we're in right now.

[00:29:25] So it's not just about buying my book. Right? It's not just about buying no-grid survival projects. It is what it is.

[00:29:35] That's one...to me, it just represents a lot...it solves a lot of problems. It has a lot of answers in it.

[00:29:41] It's really most about you understanding that this is a viable threat and having an answer for, oh, the water doesn't work anymore.

[00:29:51] Or the water is not safe enough to depend on anymore. Or the electric is gone and we don't know when it's coming back.

[00:29:59] Right? The internet is gone and I don't know how I'm going to communicate.

[00:30:02] These are things that with every day that goes by, the probability grows. Right? The threats increase.

[00:30:13] And you must be prepared to beat that stuff back. You know? We can do a whole series on this if you want.

[00:30:20] I mean, we can walk through everything. We can walk through no internet. We can walk through no electricity.

[00:30:26] We've talked about it a lot here on PBN. You know? The problem with...it's no easy feat.

[00:30:34] When you start talking about we're going to jump from living the life that we lived to living an off-grid lifestyle.

[00:30:41] You know, this is not an easy feat. It takes time. It takes understanding and it takes money a lot of times.

[00:30:47] A lot of times it takes some degree of money, you know?

[00:30:50] So I understand why it's like, yeah, I get that I need to do it, but man, I can't do it right now.

[00:30:55] I understand, you know, that position. Trust me.

[00:30:59] I'd like to have some more things as well. I'd like to have more preps in the off-grid situation too.

[00:31:07] We're just not...you know, we are limited by our space and time and money.

[00:31:11] So PBN family, this is my rant for today.

[00:31:19] I try to avoid these dark rants about all the things that are going wrong and all the things you need to do,

[00:31:29] but guess what? Every so often you need a little kick in the ass, right?

[00:31:33] Alright guys, I'll talk to you soon. Enjoy the weekend here at PBN and prepare yourself for the world of Ready, which will be coming out next week.

[00:31:43] And if you don't know what the world of Ready is, don't worry. I'll give you a nice big breakdown on our new children's book
