WOMENS WEDNESDAYS: 2026 Prepper Goals w/ Sara and Jordan

You're listening to PBN. You will pay us back the stability here. Well, good evening, PBN family. It is 2026 Prepper Goals and Predictions. Big night tonight. Big night tonight. We're going to make a list and check it twice. We're going to come back to you. This was Jordan's idea to come back to you in a year so we can hang our heads in despair at the failures of the year. But, yeah, we're live. We are on Instagram. We are on YouTube. Jordan, thanks so much for joining us tonight. I appreciate it. Great to see you, as usual. I think that's how. We need to start out. YouTube, Insta, and Rumble. YouTube, Insta, and Rumble. So hello, Instagram people. We're not over there very often. This is why, because some dude just showed up and posted 10 mushrooms in a row in chat. Magic way. I don't know what that means. I don't. So the year is upon us, right? What are we at? 12 days into the new year. I'm feeling good. Yep, January 12th. It's been a good year thus far. And yeah, we got big things coming on PBN. We don't need to talk about that. If you're interested in all the PBN stuff, listen to today's earlier show. No idea what it was called. Something about the pantry. The prepper pantry. Listen to that one. It's got the whole lineup of... Yeah, the archive show is coming. I actually. Ended up dropping my phone while trying to juggle getting out to the car while listening, and it destroyed the screensaver. And this is the actual phone itself is destroyed, too. Yikes. Damn phones. It's a limited time offer. Phones will be going away soon. There's my prediction. Maybe not this year, but there'll be a thing. Once they put the chips in here, then we'll be good. We don't want to worry about dropping it anymore. Yeah, I won't have a phone then. I'll be sending you letters through snail mail. I can't wait. I say we do it now. I'm not even lying. I had a pen pal growing up as a kid. I had a Chinese pen pal. So I would actually write in Chinese and she would write in English and we would send each other letters because she was learning English and I was learning Chinese as a child. That's so awesome. There's a lady on here. Listen up, Instagram people. There's a lady on here called Verse and Sip. And Verse and Sip is like, she's doing it. I don't know. Nobody probably would even care because it's so, gay is the right word for a guy like me to say. But it's just, all she does is write poems or lines from poems. makes envelopes out of craft paper, and mails them out to people. Oh, we've talked about that. Oh, I love her. You said you started following her based on the fact that I was following her. Yeah, that was it. And I was just in. I was locked in. I'm watching. My kids come over to the couch, and I'd be watching, like, how to fold a Victorian envelope. I love that. What do you like? I like the wax seals. I'm that person who will sit there and watch. I've always loved those. Actually, funny enough, Lisa T from earlier today, she's the one that sent me. She sent me the one that I use exclusively for my wife. Actually, she sent me a blue and a W. It's like a cursive W. Yeah, that's the seal for for Lady Liberty exclusively. No one else gets that one. Then the other one I use is like the it's like a Edgar Allen Poe skull with a crow on it. Yeah. I mean, the handwritten letter thing will happen. It'll it'll happen. I can only fight it for so long. It's like, I just can't fight it off. Like this year, I didn't do Christmas cards and I've decided I am about to go back to doing the cards. And I have actually on this board back here from a dear friend in Ohio. She sent me postcards. Postcards are sweet. And I love it. And then I've started... keeping stickers from people who send them to me and it's like through my letters they'll send me stickers and so now they're all up here did people. Still send did they still send letters from the army i. Don't know now back in when i was in high school and yeah yeah we sent letters yeah i think so. I don't know i don't know either i found one the My buddy John went off to the army and sent me a big, probably the longest thing he ever wrote. It was like a two-page letter front and back. And it was so funny. Well, how do you do that to me? It was funny, man, to pick that thing up and read. Oh, howdy. Yeah. I know. I decided to pull up Insta here so I can be on both levels. Good call. Thank you for that. And comments, because no offense, you're not great at looking at comments sometimes. God, I'm so bad. That's one thing I love about StreamYard. Stream yard is great because it puts it right over next to you. You know what I mean? And it's like, I'm always over here. So, you know, one of the big things I talked about that I wanted to do Jay Ferg, I didn't think it would happen so fast, but I wanted to get out and camp with the kids more this year. And it just so happened that my son was like, I want to go camping in the, in the mountains in the cold. So we were off to a good start on that one, but that's definitely one of my winter camping. Yeah, we did. We did it last week, two weekends ago. See, we actually had snow hit us yesterday. We had hail hit us yesterday. So it stopped, but they are now talking about a big snowstorm hitting us Thursday. Yeah, my wife told me that there's a big one coming. I haven't checked the weather, though. I don't know. We'll see. Get the heaters ready. Good winter prep. Sarah. Yeah. Sarah did a phenomenal winter show this year. Kerosene heaters, propane heaters. Those are, I finally have those all set up with more than enough for both. Kerosene is it, I think. Oh. It's the go-to for us. 100%. And if you're leery about it because it's an open flame, get a fireproof blanket to put underneath. I get one of those campfire fireproofs. And then when I was a welder and worked in construction, I actually have one of the thick fiberglass fireproof blankets that I put over that just to be on the safe side. Or underneath it, I mean. I dig it. I think it's great. It's easy. Yeah, you always have to. So what are your predictions for 2026? Well, you know, oh, look, Sarah's coming. You know what? We're happy to have you for as long as we have you. Sarah's coming. I mean, for what? You know what I mean? There's like world stuff. There's I think let's let's start small. What what do you see for being on in the future for your personal level as well as your local level? Personally, I do think it's going to be an absolute monster of a year for the Waltons. I do. I think it's a rebound year and it's going to be a big one. I think it's going to be a big year for everybody. I hope so. That's what I would love to see. We've got the new Prepper Camp kicking off. I think it's going to. Be a huge year. I'm excited. A bigger complex with more amenities. Yes. easier accessibility for those who want to be able to pull in with no problems. I think it's going to be the best thing ever. Yeah. I think we're going to have a blast. Locally. I think we're in big trouble. Yeah. Community wise statewide. I think we're in big trouble and there's a lot of work. We're in big trouble. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we were really in good shape with our with our last governor. He was really fighting a lot of battles. And I forgot that in 2020, before the pandemic hit, we were fighting off, you know, hand your AR registration in. That's literally what Ralph Northam had proposed. Oh, didn't Ralph Northam also prevent women from being able to defend themselves while jogging? Like, essentially, women couldn't carry weapons if they were raped? Well, yeah, he expanded. He removed the self-defense law on there, I thought. What him and the mayor here did is they expanded the... Not that anybody really cares, but I'm sure people do. He expanded, like, the. What is it? Where you can't carry concealed. Right. All over the place. I mean, anywhere near any buildings that are government, anywhere near... The best one is all the parks, which Richmond, Virginia is basically one big-ass park. I mean, it really is. The river runs through the whole thing, and most of it's parks on either side. There's parks everywhere. So he basically found a cool little in-route to keep people from carrying guns, I guess. But I think Abigail's going to be worse. I think she's going to do a lot of terrible things. and we're going to have to battle for it. Do you think you're going to see more inclusion in the public school system? Our public school system's pretty bad. Is it? Yeah, and it's... There's some ungodly amount of 12th graders who can't even read that have already graduated. They're out in the world. Well, I mean, No Child Left Behind was probably the start of it with our generation. Yeah, definitely. But I do think people have had it. I've seen a lot of videos of local parent-teacher type stuff and PTA type stuff with... you know, really upset parents, but I really don't have sympathy for upset parents whose kids can't read. I kind of feel like it's their job. You know what I mean? Oh, there she is. Fresh off the mat. Beautiful. Fresh off the mat and ready to take this boxing match on. All right. Hold on. I got to fix my audio real quick. She can't hear us yet. No. yeah i mean so locally i think we're. Screwed when we talk crap that's a good. I love you oh. There you go get the hand signals going for sure all right no no was. It the young ones my kids do is the little asian hearts. Oh check that out that's kind of neat so what about you jay ferg personal and local What do you think? Personal, I think we're... My goal... Well, I mean, we have goals. I don't do the resolution in the sense that I feel like people set unrealistic expectations on themselves versus goals that they are targeted to achieve. Yeah, I can see that. I can definitely see that. So for us, I see that... Wow, she did a magic trick. Okay, sorry. I got distracted for a second. I see us... Actually being more productive this year. I think this year is going to be a big year for us on the sense of how well we do with that. We have a full year now at our new location that it's, it's going. To be settled. That's great. We are. And now I have like multiple large garden beds to create. I've already got the blueprints that I drew up to put together and implement for the gardens. And then that should be everybody's goal. It is, but I'm also in. A different climate. Well, not so much climate, but a different region. So it's slightly different than what I'm accustomed to in Arkansas, in Mississippi, in South Carolina. So my growing season is a little different. So now it's starting all over from scratch. Locally. There are quite a few other prepping communities here. I can say I was blessed to run into another prepping community not far from me who I will be buying beef from locally. So it's going to change my investment end of being able to have local resources that are grass fed. They don't vaccinate their cows and put all this extra crap into them. So that's a plus for us. Yeah. As far as. Locally beyond the outside immediate area, I don't think we're going to see any less than the chaos that we have with the transients. I've mentioned in prior podcasts, I've had to pull a pistol and have it on the ready because I had a addict run towards my car with my child in it. Oh, my. And then he veered and went at the car behind me. I don't think that's going to decline because I have seen and heard public reports Other other people mentioned publicly that, for example, Asheville will actually bus in all their mental health patients and addicts and dump them in our big city, our bigger city. But I actually. Yeah. So I they're not. But I travel. No, I mean, the people who run Asheville. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. They are. But I travel out like two towns out from where I live because it's the only place I can grocery shop. outside of the local farmers markets, which I do primarily source from. But with the new advantages that I've recently found, I think you're going to see less and less of me going into town unless it's to go to check my P.O. Box. Yeah, I think that's a good move. How about you, Sarah? I think that's a nice sweatshirt James got on there. I think this is a great sweatshirt, too. Man, that's pretty awesome. No doubt about it. So we were doing, we were doing personal and local predictions. I don't know if you heard that was kind of what. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I was like, Oh, I would don't bother. Um, no, I just got done doing craft. So, uh, a little bruise. Uh, but there, there's my personal goal. I am just, uh, on fire. New, new stuff, uh, to learn. We actually just got done doing a de-escalation seminar and reading body language seminar. Yeah. Oh, nice. That's a lot right there. Yeah. And it was an amazing seminar. Gentleman by the name of John Wilson. And so I'm going to try and get him to come out and be on my podcast. Amazing background in military law enforcement. And then... just really understanding people and how to communicate better so that nothing has to escalate to the point where you do have to use deadly force. So really cool seminar. I was actually going to talk to Rick and Jane, but. Really amazing to have them out. So Blessed that I found the craft school in our area. I've been looking for one for years that, you know, I only pick really good mentors these days. I've had my my fair share of interesting instructors. And this guy is out of Houston. He teaches phenomenal craft. And so, yeah, that's what I'm all geared up on this year. I'm just ready to just keep learning. I'm a badass by the time we like bring it. I guess I need to 3D print one of those blue guns and bring it to Prepper Cam this year. We could play with that the whole time. Oh, dude, I can show you all kinds of like disarm stuff now. And I haven't taken care of. Krav in years and I would love to do Krav again. Honestly, I loved it. Best physical exercise in the world too. And that's one of the things too, our class is a little bit older, like it's older people. I'm actually one of the youngers in there. And so we work a lot on balance and, you know, being it's, uh, when I was training MMA, you're, you're preparing for a five minute, you know, round five of them potentially. Right. So like the endurance has got to be there as you get older and older, that's, that's challenge. Right. Well, most real world scenarios are over in like 15 seconds. So you're literally for that eight second fight of just like, how quick can you end it? And that really plays into our survival training because. In a survival scenario, you can't be broken up. You can't break your body. You can't be to the point where you're just so gassed that you can't go and collect food and do everything the next day, right? Take care of your family. Well, isn't it within the first certain amount of time anyways is going to be whether or not an attacker keeps going or they decide, eh, you're not worth it. You're too much. You're too much. And really just through your communication, situational awareness and how you present yourself is going to determine if you're that, that next victim or not. Well, Sarah, I hate to say this, but you and I are kind of on the shorter, we get the shorter stick on this one, just because for those of you who don't know, Sarah and I, we have six foot five personalities, but we're both like five foot two and maybe 115 soaking wet. And we're like, they're not, I don't know. You got to dial in. I'm a, I'm five foot. Nothing in a hundred. Nothing. Right. That's it. Yeah. That's the Sarah line. Nothing. Yep. Um, but I've had 400 pound dudes where I'm like, Hey man, I learned a new throat, new choke hold. Like choke me. I'm going to show you. And I'm like, Oh, I'm watching you, man. You know? So, uh, Yeah, but you know, your guy's personality, if I were out and about and I was, you know, a criminal, I certainly wouldn't be going after two girls like you guys, right? No, no. Because you're loud, you're outspoken, you know. I can't say, though, that's the case, though, unless you talk to us. I think on first appearances, we don't look like we're very loud people. I look like an asshole. Maybe solo. I've had many people try to punk up on me because I look like I'm easily overpowered. Right. Yeah, I could see that. You're with a child too. Now my attention is split. It's not just offending myself. I've got him to worry about and stuff. Even though he's. Christian was surprised. For sure. Yeah. Y'all just wait. Jericho is already three feet tall. Yeah. Right. Christian. He's going to. Be the same height as me. So just be ready. No, So the other thing, so personally, of course, I'm training, training, training. I never get enough. We are also doing the gardens. We're moving locations. So I know what you're talking about with a new environment. Texas is like. California's like, put it in the ground, grow anything you want, as tall as you want. Texas is very different per region, just like Arkansas and Mississippi are from North Carolina. It's different in each area. We got land to plant, but nothing will grow in it. So we're in a container. I feel like that every year that I grow. I don't know if that means I'm a crappy gardener, but I just feel like every year I'm like, oh, I should have done that better. If anything, that's the sign of a good gardener is the fact that you don't have expectations that it's going to do exactly the same thing because nature is not followed by a specific pattern. Nature will do its own thing. So the fact that we understand that we have to be flexible to nature's rules, I think speaks on how well of a gardener you actually are. Stuff, you know, because it's sand and. Clay, right? So every bit, we just let it grow wild. We put our Christmas tree there. We put everything there so that we can just burn it all and just keep amending that soil at that spot. And we just keep throwing all the chicken crap in there and everything. And that's where we're opposite. We can't burn where we are because, unfortunately, North Carolina is having a lot of forest fires lately, regardless of the weather. Oh, yeah. So I had two live Christmas trees this year, one in house, one outside. Cause why not? Right. My first ones. And we took the chainsaws and I stripped them down and cut them into pieces. And then I have them sitting in an area so they can break down because they What I plan on doing is using it in hugelkultur with. My garden beds. And everything that dies or dead or the chickens do not eat will go straight into the bottom of the garden bed. So I plan on making an area where I can actually put it in and feed the garden beds as they grow. Yeah, that's a cool system. I did a hugelkultur pile two years ago or something like that. We grew zucchini and pumpkins out of it last year. Even zucchini! Near as rough here they get all big and then it hits this time of the year and like end of july august and texas is. Just like well that's what garden girl said garden girl said she would garden girl would do do a whole garden and then come august just kill it all kill it do a whole garden or whatever. Yep. Plan it again. In certain regions, it was so different for me that I could harvest all the way through Christmas. And now I'm in an area where my growing season is so much smaller that I'm having to modify ways to be able to get my saplings or seedlings going first and then go from there to be able to get as much as I can in such a short window because mountain life is very different to the. The foot. Oh, sure. The Bayou you were in there in, uh, in Mississippi. No, I was more in Bayou country in South Carolina. Oh, When you told me you had crawfish in your backyard, I was like... So. Mississippi is a natural wetland throughout the entire state. So yes, I had crawfish building up nests throughout my garden, which wasn't an issue. But honestly, I felt like it was more of a bayou environment in Myrtle Beach than it was in Mississippi because I was only 45 minutes south of Memphis. But people don't realize even that distance from the ocean, like the delta of Arkansas, the swampland, follows all the way up to northern mississippi in that area so that whole area is naturally swampland on its own without man coming in and and um changing the temp. Uh topography yeah i can see it i wouldn't mind it it's kind of cool it's it would be new to me for sure. But so locally uh i uh i'm gonna be honest i haven't been paying as much attention as i should because i've been Deep in audio drama. If you haven't checked out the videos yet, man, you should check them out. They're a ton of work. They're so much fun. All your characters are going to come to life. And I've seen a few of them that you've sent me. Yeah, it's been they're a labor of love for sure. You can watch it for like an hour. They're hour long episodes on there. I'm doing all the shorts and everything. I'm designing my own music now for it. I've just been like a kid in a candy store. You're just rolling on that thing. Yeah, but it takes a lot of work. I figure I'll be caught up in April and then I'll be able to go back to a weekly podcast with the Changing Earth podcast because I had to take that to a monthly because I was like, oh, this is going to be a lot of work out ahead of me. But I can't wait to get back to the weekly show. We're going to do the Las Vegas years and start bringing you guys the survival tips in just a renewed way. But so I'm in northern Texas, northeastern Texas. And it's been interesting as far as it goes, because we have big metroplexes like Dallas and Houston and And we've seen some of the same activity that's basically happening in Minnesota and whatnot. And so it's nice to see Abbott taking a stand against views that aren't in line with American views. I'm sorry, but there's no world that Sharia law can coexist with the United States constitutions. That's been a big one right near you. I know that's crazy. A little Muslimabad going up. Epic City or whatever they're trying to build. Epic City is an awesome name for a show. Now they're calling it something with meta, right? That they're still trying to go after it. They should just call it Peta. That's really going to go on there, right? Yeah. And Texas is all about like protecting its children. I mean, so much, you know, if you have an altercation with a mayor, that's huge in Texas. So I just don't. Texas is primarily made up of Tejanos. So even in the Spanish culture, if you're born in Texas and you're not, you're Mexicans per se. You're not Mexican though. You're Tejano. And there's a big deal. And they're big Catholicism, you know, they're Catholic. And I'm a Spanish Catholic. So it's like, you know, that's a big deal. I loved Texas when I was there, that Texas is beautiful with the right people. Well, we got a lot of influence in those big cities. So that's what we have to keep an eye on. Now I know there was just like a big altercation where they were coming out to do like, ice riot type thing and uh abbott just straight called up the straight state troopers and was like no not in texas this is not happening here so that is a big watch uh because you know everybody's always after texas and it seems like it's the the stronghold of our freedoms um no If Texas is. Blue, we will look at it as we once had a stronghold of our freedoms named Texas. Right. What I heard is Texas had turned really purple. Definitely. Right, because of the cities and whatnot. Yeah, the cities and the California migration. But I think we're seeing it in a lot of areas. I've seen a lot of posts recently, even in South Carolina, where people are telling northerners to quit moving south because people are getting angry that the south does not fit in their... Uh, it's the, all of South Carolina is not Charleston and you can't get angry when we're nothing like you. And then you expect us to be just like where you came from. It's not Chicago. We're not going to have your pizza. We got chicken, chicken. Last time Ted Cruz was elected. Um, it's because of the amount of Californians that moved in and voted for him. Wow. So that. The Californians that came to Texas, because most Californians would be like, are you going to Texas? Right. That place, right? They don't want to go there unless their job's there. Or they're moving to Austin. Like, for some reason, Austin is a place, right? Yeah. But, you know, if you're moving out to rural Texas... It ain't because you want more rules. No, no, and that's the good thing, but that's just it. A lot of these states aren't seeing people moving because they have the same mindset as us. They see them moving because they can't stand who they elected into their office and then are pissed when we refuse to conform to their ideology because I'm sorry, but this is the South. Our Southern hospitality only lasts so long. And then you're going to hear so many bless your pee-picking hearts. It's not fun. Yeah. We were just talking about that earlier. People in the South are really nice to your face. Uh, you know, kind of, you know, yeah. Bless you. Like everything. Bless your heart. There's like a wall that is there. And once you get over the wall, you're in like you're in. Okay. But until you like get over that, you get over that wall. I. I actually had a friend tell me, bless your heart. And I said, oh, darling, bless your freaking heart. You ain't from the South. Please don't ever say that. Again to me. I would say the people in California are real nice to your face. And then they'll go talk everything about you when you ain't. That's just people, guys. That's all people. We'll be nice, but we'll be ugly in front of you, too. We will only be nice for so long. And we'll tell you to pack your shit and keep on talking. We don't want you here kind of thing. You're like, oh, all right. In Philly, we're mean to everybody. We're mean to the face and mean behind the back as well. Mean everywhere. When I go back home and order food. Where is the mean bone in your body? I've never. never in my mind because i view you like i do willow i'm so protective over you and willow it's not even funny because i don't believe you have a mean bone anywhere in your. Body yeah it's the right kind of people you know when that when i get to come hang out with you guys it's a whole different world i mean in the world i grew up in you know. How about that? I haven't talked to you guys. Are you guys so stoked for this new location or what? Oh, yeah. I'm beyond elated that I keep asking James, when are you coming out? Because it's at a very relative location from me now that I'm like, I want to drive out there with you to tour the whole place. I think we're going to do a PBN pool tournament on Thursday. All right. I was into the throwing axes. I want to try that. We can do a triathlon. Right? Yeah, the triathlon. I'm down for the horse riding. I told Ricky you should do a horse riding class for post-EMP. Oh, you know who was really good at that? Lisa Goodwin. She's like a guru when it comes to horse survival. I love horses, but I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of scared. Okay. Right exactly it's like it's oh my god it's a moose. I've never eaten horse i really don't want to i like horses but there are. A lot of you've eaten horse and you don't know it when in high school In school, they were still using horse meat and hamburger meat until the mid to late 90s, and then they removed it out. Oh, I ate the hell out of some horse then, for sure. Yeah, horse is delicious. Never had a problem. They were in Mexico, I think. They're grass-fed, too? You kidding me? It was probably dog, but you know. I got tore up from people on my first book because the horse gets shot that she's on. And so Erica... I didn't see an issue with it. People have to understand. When you're surviving, you eat what you have to. Right? Of all the things people can get upset about, it ain't got mad that the horse got shot. Yeah. Oh, Zesty Duda says, don't forget frog legs. Frog legs are delicious. I'm not opposed to eating frog legs. I don't like eating reptiles. They're the one. They're not reptiles, they're amphibians. You don't want to eat lizards. You don't want to eat lizards and. You don't eat seagulls. Lizards and seagulls are some of the worst things to actually eat. They'll make you violently ill. Yeah, lizards are bad. Lizards and seagulls, you do not eat those, ever. Just feed that seagull some Alka-Seltzer. Oh, so Scotty asked, have any of you unknowingly eaten dog while overseas on Korea? So I've never left the U.S. I ate a lot of stuff like Chinese, for sure. I don't even know what that was. I had a relative who went to China, and he took a picture of a menu, and it showed cat and dog casserole. No. No. I've been out of the country, but I don't do islands or peninsulas that are surrounded by ocean. Because you're changing earth. I'm changing earth. And I study this stuff way too well. But you think about it, though. There are certain regions, kind of like in India, the death city, right? They wash their dead and put their dead in the river. But even in oceanic areas where people throw their dead into the water, what do you think feeds on that that then we then feed on? So you've got to think about the fish, crab, any of those types of animals. I don't know that I do need to think about that. Way to ruin all seafood, Jordan. I'm going to have a shrimp oil in a couple of nights. There go crab for 2026. Oh, so Scotty says he was so conflicted when he found out it was dog. So tasty, but it was his best friend. Oh, no. Hell no. Oh, no. I don't know. In the book, one second after. I would eat dog. I wouldn't eat my own dog, but I'd eat my neighbor's dog. I was going to say, in the book, one second after they traded. Yeah. Yeah. Like, if my animal got hurt and he died, I would give him to the neighbors to eat. And expect, you know, if they understood, because I couldn't eat my own pet, but I know my pet's clean enough that someone else could eat it. They ran another episode for another season of Life After People. Amazing show. That is a great show or was a great show. I didn't even know it was on anymore. They ran another season of it. I researched heavily off Life After People for what it would look like in my books when they're going through certain areas. Yes. And one of the things they talked about was how few dog breeds would actually survive. Yeah, that makes sense. Are bred for genetic deformities that are not naturally occurring. So if it weren't for the fact that we keep breeding these deformities, like the dwarfism and the hydrosophilic head styles and everything, we wouldn't have them. Even my big dog, you know, my German Shepherd is 115 pounds. It takes a lot of food to keep that dog rolling. That's the biggest problem with the dogs is feeding them long term. Yeah. Well, and you've got to think how many dogs would end up in roving packs because dogs do go feral quicker than a lot of other animals out of necessity. So that's all a coyote is. Well, right. But for example, like when people die in their house, how long is it before a dog turns around and eats their owner? It's usually not long. Time spanner. Very, very short. Yeah, exactly. They start consuming the flesh of their owner. That's why starvation. Well, cats will start eating their owners as they're dying because they can smell the death on them. A dog will wait till their owner is dead. Cats are brutal. I'll eat the hell out of cats. I had this lady contact me. She's living in New York and she's like, Sarah, what do I do with my cat when stuff goes down? I'm like, well, You eat it. I didn't have the heart to tell her that. I was like, I don't know. You could get it like a cat harness, my mom used to do. Not to jump set, but do you guys think that ice will be around by the end of 2026? Yes. Do you think they'll still be going strong? Absolutely. Unfortunately, we are at the beginning of our own down civil rest. I think we're going to see more in the sense that I think a lot of people are going to get a dose of fuck around and find out. Well, they're going to audit California, too. Let's face it. Michigan asked the National Guard to come in and step in over ISIS. You're asking a federal organization to overstep another federal organization's I think if anything, I think we're going to see a harder lockdown on the fact that these forces are going to get more leeway and they're following the rules as it is. But I think it's a good thing. Yeah. I hate the fact that we have to put any kind of abuse on the road, right? I hate the fact that that has to happen, but they screwed us up so bad with that open border. But at the same time, I think it needs to happen. I mean, honestly, we need to take it a step further. All these people who came in who are pedophiles on top of our own pedophiles, put them down. You put down a dog that attacks a person, you put down a person who attacks a child or any person. The best thing to remove the problem is to completely eliminate the problem. You neutralize it. Yeah. Well, you can chemically castrate them too. Chemical castrate. only works to a certain degree because guess what? You can physically castrate them. You can chemically castrate them, but it doesn't change the fact that they are so mentally ill and they have hands and they have other parts. And a lot of people who are chemically castrated will find ways to violate these young children or with inanimate objects. I'm sorry, but chemical castration only goes so far. I've worked in mental health long enough to see that chemical castration does not work. Not to the degree you think it is because it doesn't change the fact that they're so wired. Put them on the bus that's hanging out. No, no, no. I say you put them down like dogs. Bring back the firing squads. Well, what I'm so curious about is like, well, if you love your Sharia and you love all this stuff so much, what are you doing here? So why would you leave your country? Why are you here? Right. Well, make your own place a better place. To turn this here into the place you try to escape from. It's because you are here. I think we need to go back to the no mask rules. So you come in the bank, you can't wear a mask. You can't do anything. They did it in what, France? Where you cannot wear hijabs or you cannot go into government. I absolutely agree. I absolutely agree. You can't cover your face. That's bananas. I can just put a niqab on and go do whatever kind of crazy shit I want to do. Who could tell? That was the craziest thing during the virus. Oh, all of a sudden we're allowed to wear a mask and all this crap and come into a bank? Really? Situationally, oh my gosh. Right out the window. I'll make a prediction. If you ladies think that ice will be around by the end of the year, I'll say that ice will be taking losses like you won't believe by the end of the year. I think that attacks on ice will become really crazy. No, no, no. I think we're going to see that before the end of the year. I think it's going to happen at any point. Yeah, I think it's. Going to hit a point where ICE is going to have to step up. I don't know. I'm going to be the devil's advocate. Well, not ICE, but so for example, let me explain where I'm coming from. So in New York, they were helping, the police officers were throwing people out of the way. I sent the clip to James of the people jumping in front of the vehicles while ICE was trying to get through, right? Oh my God, crazy. At what point does it hit? And which we start arresting the folks and stop letting them stop on and protest everything. Right. Texas doesn't fuck around. But when is New York going to step up? When is all these other states going to step in and realize that if you impede on a federal lawful action that you are going to go to jail? My belief is they were already trying to goad us into a civil war. Cause they were already headed to troops. I know. And we're already in a cold civil war, but he didn't have the conservative population step up. Like everybody went, Oh, okay. Trump's there. Cool. We're, we're chilling for a little bit. Right. I mean, I'm serious. Cause like the talk when Kamala was an option was pretty crazy out there. Right. So I think they're trying to goad the American people into this civil war. And it just hasn't worked. People love our country. We love our freedoms. We love the place that it is. We don't want to see war on our streets. We don't want to see Americans die over these. Really? I don't want to see anyone die. So I think they imported. You're going to put someone else's life at risk. I think they imported the civil war. They left the borders open to bring in these people that don't give a crap about America. They don't give a crap about our country. And they don't give a crap about you. The businesses don't give a crap about you. They want you to own nothing and be happy about it. So how do we force this upon the American people? Okay, let's import these people to start the Civil War in the United States. Right. And well, let's make it a Christian war. Let's make it the fact that our moral Christian beliefs that our country was founded. On is no longer a thing. They tried it then with men and women, right? That's the way to do it. Because we grew up in the 90s. It was peace and love and unity. And we had the love around the world with Michael Jackson and everything else that we could have disagreements and agree to disagree. What won't Christians put up with? And tolerance. We won't put up with children being raped. Oh, absolutely not. We won't put up with Sharia law. We're not going to put. Up with women being abused. As a Christian, as a Catholic, I hear love thy neighbor. No, love thy neighbor does not mean to turn my cheek while you abuse me. It means to share the gospel with my neighbors. And to share the love of God with you. Not to turn around and allow you to do despicable acts to the people around me that I see, whether I know them or not, as family. So it is not... Even God went into the. Where is it? He went into the church and he flipped the tables. There is nothing in there saying that we have to be peaceful. Now, we choose to be peaceful. When Jesus left, he said... Now is the time you sell your tunic and buy a sword. Now is the time. Right? But I grew up hearing that there is going to hit a point in our beliefs, in our faith, that we will have to fight as Christian soldiers. And here's our time to take up our arms in our faith and our beliefs. And we are fighting our battle as Christians against people who are against us. I am not against people having their own beliefs. But I'll be damned if someone comes in and is going to tell me that I cannot pray to my God. I cannot say my prayer, the rosary or anything. And you're not allowed to, you know, black gospel music across the city. But these moths are allowed to. And then the story that I heard about this gal, it was on Glenn Beck. You know, she was at an American school. She goes and tells that the school I'm being abused. They took the case to court. The court says, oh, it's a cultural thing. Put her back to the family. The girl whose family tried to do a ritual murder because she refused to marry a man overseas. No, no, different story. But yeah, so then they put her back with her family. Your family's like, oh, what are they going to do? What are you going to do now? What are you going to do? They're not going to protect you. They're not going to help you. So our own laws are turning back against these children because it's a cultural thing. No, no. No, no, that's still a child. I saw one similar where a girl went and announced that her family was trying to force her into a marriage with this much older gentleman. She was barely 16 to a 50-year-old overseas from their home country. And she had a boyfriend here. And her father went to give an honor killing and tried to beat her to death in front of the school. And actually, I think, managed to kill her with his wife helping. Because she refused to follow their cultural beliefs, even though she had begged the counselor in school to step in and they couldn't. Because of, like you said, their cultural beliefs were protected. No, no, that doesn't fly. What's the point of having a court of law, a judicial system, a constitution? Well, oh, it's my culture that I get to beat on my husband. So now it's okay. No. I mean, we can play that game. Definitely, us preppers, we can play that game, right? It's my culture that I want to carry a bazooka in my truck. Yeah. It's my culture. It's any wider than your thumb. It's my culture. I want a 50 cal on top of my husband's truck. Right. So that's cool. It might be that way anyway. It'll be a Christian crusade in the country anyhow, right? Long story short. I actually think that as this plays out, that the American people will actually be even more supportive of ICE and the mission that they're on. It would be a beautiful thing to see, I can tell you that. Right, because I just see the tension increasing in these people that are here, and they're going to get more violent. And Americans are going to go, uh-uh, get the hell out of here. I think what people were seeing just with the most recent incident is headlines didn't talk about who they were there to collect. And the fact that they couldn't collect them initially and it took more taxpayers money to be able to initiate a more investigation. But he was a four time, I think actually more than that, sexual offender from an out of state country who had also raped three women in our area or something along those lines. Don't don't quote me on it. But he was a violent sex offender who's being protected now. By the law. What do you do when your daughter is the one being raped by this man? Oh, it's fine. He's just here with his equal rights. But it's okay. He's molesting your tiny little girl or your little boy. We've seen more vigilante uptake, too, as far as people are like, oh, I'm just going to go tell my mom. Definitely that. Talking about people like Muslims or whatever. I'm talking about these rapists. As a mom, as a woman, I don't care whose child it is or what woman it is, I would put myself in harm's way to protect another female or protect another child, period. Period. Everything in me is programmed to protect an innocent life. Being a mother, as you know, you as well, I don't think we could ever walk past and be okay with the knowing that someone was being harmed or abused. In my previous job, I had a very hard time with those calls. in which I knew the woman was being abused with how the whole call interaction happened that I reported it every time, which it's recorded. My supervisor reported it, but I felt so angry that I couldn't do more to protect these women or these in these situations and nobody's doing anything. Right. Yeah. And you know, I feel horrible. Like as a Christian, I really feel horrible. There's a, there's a ethical battle going on inside me because I want people to be free and I want all people to live awesomely. And I don't want to invade in anybody else's business. And I don't really care. You know I mean, obviously I care about the children and I care about, you know, people being treated respectfully. But like, You know, my freedom ends where, where your freedom begins. I can't swing my arms around and smack you across the face because I'm a free person. Right. I can swing my arms around as much as I want, but as soon as I invade on your space, that's where it ends. Right. And that's the thing. Like you, you just, I don't know if it's social media being divisive or what, you know, I haven't been out to talk to people a lot. on my own. Um, but you hear so many reports of just the warning flags that look, these people are not here to live with you. They are here for you. And that song that you're hearing is not a prayer song. It is a conqueror you song. It's everywhere. It's everywhere in every country. You can't even find me one example where a giant population of Muslims show up and go, let's all assimilate. Let's buy fucking 19 and let's just look like everybody else. Thousands of people being slaughtered and it's always like, yeah, we're just better than you. So let's do our way. Where my my fiance had actually he said to be able to disagree with other beliefs he wanted to learn about other beliefs so he actually learned about the the muslim bible he read. The whole. Thing and the other parts the other books of it do actually say um, very, very evil things on us along with other types of religious pieces in which he has studied. He went through a whole religious major study and, uh, you'd be surprised James, if you ever sat down with him, how much he knows on these. And it's, and it's like, okay, if you don't want to be a Muslim, then great. Then you can pay us taxes. Right. And like, what about the millions being siphoned into the date daycares? I don't know enough about that all to speak to it, but I did do a lot of research on why the Marines were created. And the Marines were created because of the Barbary pirates, right? And this was your caliphates and stuff. And for the caliphate, one of their most prized possessions were white female slaves. And they would go all the way up to Iceland and To capture white female slaves. And they would take these boats over. And stuff. And take the white women. So they had white female slaves. And the men finally went. Hey, enough is enough. Like these European guys who like whose wives had just been taken. Right. They're like enough is enough. So the Marines actually teamed up with a whole bunch of these people whose families had all. Been Vikings and Marines v. Muslims. That sounds like a right. It was. It was crazy. That's where the weather next to stop the scimitar. So in, in, for the, for example, the Quran and a lot of Muslim or Turkish cultures, their harems are made of women of other cultures because they cannot actually do any sexual deviation to their own women culturally. So that's why we want a white American women or women from other cultures. Yeah. And when you listen to a lot of their actual, where they're women talking about it, They're like, yeah, I want him to go do that because I don't want him to be like, I don't have to sleep with him. Give me a break. Right. It's crazy. It smells horrible. It's like animalistic. Like, come on. I think really we can make a better point. Multiple wives because then the first wife gets a break from that sexual deviance that they're experiencing. Right. As a husband, he does some horrible things, but he can't do exactly what he'd like to do to his wife culturally. So if she lets him take on a harem or a second wife, then she no longer has to have that physically done. There's no she lets him do anything. You don't let him do anything. They do whatever the fuck they want. They're like nine. Women are property. Women are property. No, not happening. We fought way too hard for our rights here in this country. So what do you. Guys think then? What do you guys think in this year? Are we going to see these sort of things pop up? Are we going to see these sort of things diminish? Because they've been slowly growing since I've been doing it. No, I think we're going to see more. I think we're going to see more of this pop up. I think it's going to become more violent, more extreme. And I think by the year's end, we are going to see a turn and the sense of people standing up or a turn in the sense of we're not taking the shit anymore. And it's just going to be an all out fistfight. And that's why I say, I think as they get backed into a corner more by our government, we'll see more radical events out of them. And then we'll see more Americans going, well, we really need to make a choice now. Like we can't just pretend like this doesn't exist. And because we want everybody to be happy. And we don't want to do, we don't want to do these things. We want to build our house with our women, safe, you know. But at what point does living your life cost me mine? Exactly. Cost me the American culture in which we get to have our own beliefs and our own religious freedoms while you get to enjoy yours. At what point do your religious freedoms stifle mine? So, sorry, but no. It should never. It should never. That's why we don't co-exist. That's their game. I mean, that's just the way they play the game. So, for example, with what's going on in Venezuela, I actually have a friend who spoke with someone who's directly in Venezuela. And we've seen a lot of protest on that, right? Did you know the Venezuelan culture from just the people I've spoke to who live there currently are actually thankful? Yes, that means another powerhouse or another crooked leader is going to try to come up because that's the way of it. But they were actually relieved because they can't afford enough just to be able to get food at the end of the day, let alone be able to afford new clothes for their children. I interviewed this guy out of Venezuela because he was telling us just about the collapse. He made it out to Spain and just how much stress they live under every day. Just going out to mow your lawn, you've got to be packing so that And then the lady next door didn't have a husband. So he, she would see him out mowing the lawn. She'd run out there and be mowing at the same time. Cause she knew that he was packing and there was so many there. Right. And you're living with stress constantly. That's not how America is. I don't want to ever see America be like that. And unfortunately it's, it's starting to turn into that here. That's what I'm saying. And it's not, it's not right when I, so we have our dogs. And I have my dog specifically because I do travel a lot. I would like to have an extra protection because in certain cultures, dogs are a big no. And it's sad that I have to go to that degree to have that extra level of protection for both myself and my toddler. Because these were so much easier. Train, train, train. You got to get after it. I mean... You know, I'm there four nights a week. Train, train, train. Because I will not be the victim. No, ma'am. I will go down fighting. I may not win the fight. That's what I told my boys. I'm like, I'm coming home. Or I'm not. But I will not be a victim. It's kind of like the Roman. You either come home or you come home on your shield. Right. That's what I told them. I'm either going to come home or I'm going to come home having died fighting. You're right, though. It is interesting to listen to two women talk about traveling through the United States with this mentality. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. So even before all of this, I had to be very careful when I traveled because I've had one or two moments where it was a bit questionable. Yeah. A little, a little unnerving with finding someone. Yeah. And the same car in Georgia followed me around and I, um, Now, I stop at certain gas stations. I had the pilot gas station operator tell me, when you come in, park in front of this area. And she told me at which gas station to park. She goes, we always have a camera right here. Under the light camera. Yes, I park right in front of the camera no matter what. So if I have to nap, I'm under visual the entire time. Not only that, if you have to defend yourself, then you have video evidence that. You weren't the driver. That's big. Because even your size, Jay, there's no guarantees people are going to be like, oh, yeah, she can get off three for that one. Yeah. There's no guarantees anymore. I am a very petite woman. And, you know, a man's big enough, yes, at some point he's probably going to overpower me, but I'm always strapped. Let's play that game. Oh, that's part of it. I mean. Well, on that note, guys, I got to go grab some dinner. I'm a starving little girl. So rest up, Sarah. Thanks so much. Always great to see you. Definitely. Right. Love you guys. Can't wait. And Changing Earth book series, Changing Earth audio drama, folks. Get on it. You can find it here on YouTube. Is it on Romo? It's on Rumble. Yep. Find it here on Rumble. Find it here on YouTube. It's only on my channel on Rumble. PBN, it's on YouTube, X, all that. Search it up. Search it up. Changing Earth, audio drama, Changing Earth book series, Sarah F. Hathaway. You're missing out. See ya. Love you. See you soon. Love you. All right. That was a pleasant surprise, huh, Jordyn? Yes, it's great. And then you get the double dose of two very opinionated and strong women. Yeah, but it's good to hear that. It's good to hear that. And, you know, it's it's a great example for other women about what because while I'm listening to you guys go over like what I do and why I do it and all that kind of stuff and hear the precautions that I take. I know you guys are situational awareness 110%. I refuse to be on my phone in public. If I have to have a phone call, I have an earbud that also lets me pick up ambient noise around me. But I absolutely refuse to be one of those people who's the whole time. You mean a victim, a target. I will never willingly be a victim. And I'm not saying women or people put themselves in that position, but people put themselves in that position without knowing it. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I think, but I think when, when listeners hear you guys talk at that high level about how you prepare to go outside and what you think about, it pushes them to improve, you know, like somewhere in the middle, you guys are way up, you know, you guys are in the red or the black. Yeah. They want to mean all the time. And I think it pushes people who are probably in the, in the yellow or, or even the white, if you've ever seen that situation. Comes from the fact that, and I don't mean this in any sort of ill way towards anyone, but being a woman, we are naturally raised to be on guard because we are already at a physical disadvantage, not one just, but biologically, um, structurally men are built bigger and stronger than Two, as a woman, we are taught very early that we are easy victims of prey. So women will sometimes, if they were taught the same way as I was, and I'm sure Sarah could have said it, we don't wear our hair up in certain styles because it makes it easy for an attacker to be able to get us. I refuse to travel in anything other than difficult clothing to get off. It actually grinds my gears to see people traveling in sweats and leggings because those are the easiest victims because they can easily pull those down. So I wear a very hard belt. You wear a bodice and stuff like that. I wear actually, I wear layers. So I have a tank top that's tucked fully in. Then I wear a loose shirt that's over a weapon. I wear a tight belt and jeans that are difficult to get off, uh, which does make it difficult for me in a drive. But at the same time, I would rather struggle for a moment than be easily raped or taken advantage of by someone with very nefarious thoughts. So as a woman, we're taught very early, um, that we are easy victims and easy prey. And honestly, I feel like that's not being taught enough because of the amount of people I see walking around in their PJs when they travel. Yeah, it is weird, right? Yeah, it drives me nuts because wherever I go, I'm fully clothed. Even if I feel like crud after a 15-hour car drive, at least I'm still had that extra level of protection because attackers are not... So as I was taught, rapists are not going to, they look for certain victim types. Ponytails make it easier for you to grab their hair. So hair being down means this can easily rip out. Now, mind you, if someone's grabbing my hair, I have a super hard head, so I'm just going to have a bald spot. I'm just going to tell you right now. Super hard head. Literally and metaphorically. Right, exactly. But I also wear as much clothing as possible. And most attackers look for the easiest victim. So high ponytails, anything they can easily grab a hold of that will make it easy to subdue their victim, as well as clothing that makes it easy to remove off of them, their victim. So whether it be by scissors, knife, a lot of them have a knife on them. So if they can easily cut through your clothing, that's another thing. Um, So Scotty says here, I remember that I struggled to get my ex to get a firearm license and she realized she needed it when burn, loot, murder were tearing up Chicago when I lived in the city. And that's a big thing. A lot of people wait till it's too late. So a lot of times, and I teach my girls to wear clothing to protect themselves when we travel, because when I travel and I have my daughters with me, I can't hold on to two people or three people at the same time. I need them to look less appealing to an attacker as much as possible, which is horrible to say, but unfortunately you kind of have to put yourself in the mindset to find a way to protect the innocence of the, of your own children. Sure. Yeah. No doubt about it. I didn't mean to get really dark. Like I said, you, you will encourage girls to meet you in the middle. I can guarantee it. Listen to this broadcast. They'll start thinking about that stuff. You know, I would, I mean, I can't even imagine being a woman and not carrying a gun. I could not imagine it. I could not imagine walking out of the house with no gun. But you know, a lot of women don't because they're scared of it. And I, a lot of women carry pepper spray, but you have to understand if you carry pepper spray, there is a level of blowback that you still have to account for. Me, nobody in my family or myself carries it. We don't carry it. I don't want to be incapacitated by my own weapon. Yeah, I have no confidence in pepper spray, that it'll work, that it won't work on me, that it won't work on someone I'm with. You know what I mean? Like, I don't think it's that good of a self-defense tool, to be honest. You got to think about it. If they're in any sort of drug-induced rage, it's not going to matter. A lot of times, these people can take tasers and beanbags and bullets and still keep going. Yeah. Yeah, I'm more worried about, like, you know, just, I don't know, just doesn't seem like good enough. You know what I mean? Maybe a burner or something like that. You can do it a greater distance, but yeah, I'll stick with the nine millimeter hollow points. They, yeah, they won't hit you back. Well, they could, I guess in a ricochet, but so what about the world, Jay Firk? What do you think is going to happen with, uh, well, I guess the big one is, do you think China is going to do anything in 2026? You know, I think they might, uh, but here's the thing. Um, I was watching a video from someone from China talking on an interview, and I think China's population that they've been quoting is grossly undernumbered. It comes down to a number factor. I think they will play in a sense, but it's not going to be to the degree that they've said before because of the fact that, well. So. We're going to talk simple numbers real quick. One plus one is what? Two. Okay. Except in the fact of population growth. One plus one is what? One. Oh, yeah. Nowadays it is. Right. It used to be like eight. But China had their one child rule for how long? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they suffered for sure. How many kids would it take for a woman to have per generation to be able to maintain a population? You're looking at around five kids. Oh, you mean for China to recover. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You maintain the same population. Oh, is it that many? I thought it was three. Yeah. No, it's five. Because you got to think about it. One plus one is a replacement of just one person in your household. So you got husband and wife. So two kids is you and your spouse. Three kids is you, your spouse plus one to maintain the population in the account for death or someone with infertility. It would be around the number of five. So I think the number is grossly underrated. So what you're saying is you think China has more people or less people? No, I think China has far less people because of the fact that we're seeing less people are wanting to take care of their elderly. That was culturally done. I think that they are probably only in the millions and not billions. Well, could be. Could be. They're headed for really rough waters. I think China will try to make a move. China's always been there with a big talk, but I don't think any move they make, even if it causes any sort of damage, will not be tolerated to a level. I think if China tries to make a move, it's because they think Russia is going to back them. But I think there hits a level of respect from Russia with the U.S. because the move we made with Venezuela kind of showed a F.A.F.O. Moment. We aren't playing when he said that if you have a problem with me, come and get me. And then he woke up the next morning with them capturing him in his own bed. And right now, America's not. Yeah, America's not an idol playground anymore. And I think the thing is, is even though people don't like it, I think it was the best move to make. It's better than war. Right. Remember that. But we also need to show we're not a force who's going to idly stand around and be the whipping boy anymore. And unfortunately, we now need to show our own countrymen and our own countrymen need to see that we are no longer the whipping boy anymore. Just because you want all this inclusion doesn't mean... that it needs to be as inclusive as you'd like it to be because our people are suffering. So I think watching our presidential make a move like that is going to make waves throughout the year for the rest of us. I think you're right. I think that they're going to face a lot of pressure from a lot of fronts, you know, and I think it's going to limit them. They're facing a lot of pressure from Japan, obviously, you know, the whole Taiwan issue. And now it seems like energy is going to become a big problem for them because, I know that some of that oil coming out of Venezuela is going to China. You know, they've got a lot of issues. I like the fact that when they asked Trump, so are you going to give the oil back? No, we're keeping it. He's not keeping it for himself. He's keeping it for the nation. Like at what point do you, do you. Have a level of ignorance of, no, I'm going to pass it around. No, he's giving it to the people. He's not keeping it for himself. This isn't the Bush administration. So it's, getting his brother in there senior. Yeah yeah like. That where's jones when we need him because god yeah they. Would have been good tonight that would have been a good little i know you never it's when school's in session man you never know what you're getting with dave you know it's a long day can you imagine teaching history at the in 2026 to any kids anywhere you know what i mean you know what. I have a lot of feeling for the teachers of today's generation, which I commend you out there. Oh, definitely. The fact that there's so many limitations in teaching like there is in the medical care field because of insurance and policies and everything else. Teaching today, I've met many retired teachers who'd said they are happy they did not have to teach in today's times. They couldn't do it. Yeah, it's sad. Yeah. Yeah, it's a sad one. It breaks your heart. Well, I mean, just talking to kids that your kids go to school with, you can kind of get it. You know what I mean? You can kind of look at them in the face and go like, oh, man. Oh, that makes sense. This is what our education... Well, that's like having a teacher tell... I call him my adopted son. He's a bonus child through my children. And And he told me that his teacher told him, oh, Google is going to be your best friend for history. You might as well just get used to it now. He's 12 and you're telling him to go through Google. At what point are we just telling our kids, just don't fucking try. You can just Google it. Oh, 100 percent. Yeah. With with AI doing homework and everything else, for sure. Yeah, that's I mean, that. I do. I do. I'll make another prediction. I like. Did it on the air already but i do think that a lot of people are have already peaked on this on internet on video on all this kind of stuff i do think we've kind of reached our peak not everybody and definitely not the world because some of the people in the world are just getting online and they're going to fall into the same sand pits that we all did but i do think a lot of people are peaking. Yeah i think ai is gonna april ai is already crippling us Because you can't tell fact from fiction. I think that's what's going to push people off the internet. I do. I think it's going to push a lot of people off. I think they're going to go, I don't know. I don't know if this is real or not. Why am I doing this? Maybe this broken phone is finally my push to go ahead and make the move to the ghost. You should. I'm telling you, man. It's great. It is great. The only problem, like I said, is I'm just the worst. I'm just the worst. phone person, which kind of sucks sometimes, but you know, it's just like the way it used to be. Like you, you might not get me when you call, you know what I mean? Like, remember in the old days, like you'd pick the phone up and call and be like, Oh, they're not home. We usually don't get you when I call. So I text you after I call. Yeah. What happens is you start like really being bad with the phone. You know what I mean? Like, oh, the phone's got 5% battery on it. Okay, I'll leave that downstairs and go up and go to sleep. You know what I mean? It's like, it becomes that because you really stop caring about it. So my phone, I really use to, I'll post some on Instagram. I have it in a hot minute. I use for the one app. And then elsewise, I have music. I play my music on it. And that's, or my audio book. And that's the main source for me is music or audio books. You got to get the little twenty four dollar iPods. I'm actually thought about I have an MP3 player somewhere, but I've thought about it and just buying the books and uploading them on there because. We got our kids MP3 players for Christmas this year for that specific reason. I have one in works for Christopher and I plan on uploading it. all the music he likes plus additional music on there because when he works out a specific location, there's no cell reception and he doesn't have music saved to his phone like I do. So I plan on actually building him his own little library of music for those days. And now you can get them where they're Bluetooth and they have a speaker built in, or you can Bluetooth them to a speaker. Don't tell YouTube, but this guy is loaded with an app called new pipe. And yeah, What you could do with New Pipe is download anything you want. And you can download it as a video or an MP3. So, I have to do a review on my mic. Blocker. And I have found some major pitfalls with mine. That I should have got the one where I could put a wired headphone in. Because they said I should be able to use my Bluetooth headphones with it. And I can't. And it mutes everything. everything my ringer at least it works everything yeah i can't even put it in my phone speaker it says it's supposed to be able to use speaker so i've got to talk to mark and maybe see if i'm not mark sean if i see if i'm doing something wrong um but it's it's uh it won't let me use any volume whatsoever as long as it's. Hey and the power of an honest review is it's amazing You know what I mean? I like the idea and the concept, but now I'm like, oh, I should have gotten the one where I could put wired headphones into it so I could still use it in the functionality because I feel like now I'm limited to when I can actually use it. Cosmos Sauce in chat says there's a front end called Create with a K that you can download music also off of YouTube. Oh, man, YouTube must hate that. I got all kinds of music on my cell phone now from doing that. All kinds of MP3s, whole albums. You just download whole albums off of YouTube, MP3. Now you have it. Now you have the MP3. It's yours. You know what I mean? You can put it on whatever you want. It's great. I actually have an MP3 downloader. So I save mine directly through this different app on my phone. And so my phone is full of hundreds of different types of music that I like, that I have in my own playlist specifically for that. So what do you see worldwide for 2026? I think Russia and Ukraine are going to fight it out well into the year and beyond. Obviously. I don't think that's going to end. I think Israel is going to take everything. I really do. I don't think they're going to stop. I think they're just going to take all that Gaza, unless Trump gets back into, like, we want to take it and do something fun with it. it but i think he's got greenland to worry about right now and i think they're just gonna they're on the shit list and i think they're going to take advantage of it you know what i mean just be like let's just take everything while the world hates us a. Lot of people from greenland want us to be a. Part of them i don't even think it matters i want them to. Be a part of us but yeah i don't I think we're going to see more from a battle with our own grounds, whether it be religious or foreign. It's not going to be a foreign invasion. We've already had the invasion. Now we have to fight that invasion. I think we're going to have to fight with Europe a little bit. I don't think kinetic, but I do think we're going to have to fight with them a little bit. I don't think the open. Borders ever helped us. Oh, no way. I think we need to do like a lot of the other countries. Germany is even suffering right now. With their open borders. Everybody over there is taking over. Hungary's holding up. Was it Poland's holding up? Well, yeah, because they don't let them in. Oh, they don't. Let anybody in. No, no. And I think that's what we need to do in return, too. I think we're going to hit a point where people have to realize protecting our youth and protecting our future is going to be more vital than any friendship or kinship to someone who's not from here. It'd be nice. It'd be nice to do a five year moratorium or something like that. You know, five years, no immigration. See what happens. I think on the personal level though, I think people need to really consider growing their own gardens, whether it be vertical in a very small space. I think on our end, um, I don't think there's certain things in like the health industry, food industry are going to ever let up really until people start taking things into control on their end. I think personal opinion, we should all do a fast food ban, not trying to stop people from work. But if you realized what's going into your food or what you don't realize is in your food is more concerning that people are putting these into their bodies. Yeah, and it's everything. I was just talking to the pizza shop guy today about salt. It's in every, I mean, everything is questionable. At what point soy is being pushed into everything on top of mystery meat? Yeah, soy was a big one. Soy caught us. It was really funny. My son was eating chicken, like frozen chicken nuggets. And he was eating them. He's like, these are different. I'm sure than shit, Jay Ferg. I looked in there and the first ingredient was soy. And the second ingredient, this was years ago, though. This was like when he was six or something. I would say soybean oil, then soybean protein, and then soy lectin. Yeah. And then chicken. Yeah. The more you could cook for yourself, the more you can grow yourself. Or if you can't, you can at least source stuff locally. You know what I mean? From farmers that are in the area. Yeah, that's the way to do it if you can't grow it. And I find that the oranges I buy from the local produce stand are in way better condition than what you can get from the local grocery mart. You just don't know. You just don't know what's in anything anymore. That's the problem. And you can't trust anything because the big problem is price is king. And it's kind of our fault because we won't tolerate the high price. So if we don't tolerate the high price, then they've got to put fillers in or whatever they got to do. To make it work at that price point for us. So there's another thing. I think we're going to see a huge decline in the dollar. Really? Yes. Only because. Um, gold and silver is on the rise. Um, and be gold and silver will continue to rise as long as the decline of the dollar is still there. So as long as the dollar declines, gold and silver rise because of the. Value, right? They are not, we no longer have backed money. So instead of the value of that going up, the dollar going up, that's not the case because it's no longer backed. Precious metals are continued to incline as the dollar continues to decline. I think we're going to see a huge price raise in everything to try to offset NOA. But it's only going to hurt us more. So anytime the dollar declines, everything else around us tends to go up. So for those of you who know on my Saturday show, I do like to mention real quick what the market price is for gold and silver. And let me pull that up because... I mean, why not? Right. I'm sure it's wild. It's wild every day. So let's, let's see what it is today. I accidentally closed up my kit. And for those of you who are curious of where I go, it's kitco.com. I can actually even put that in the chat. And when you put that in the chat in Instagram too, if you don't mind. So that is going to be the most accurate market reading for everything. A lot of people like to use APMEX. APMEX likes to kind of, nah, the numbers a little bit. And for those who can see my hand movement, they like to level it to what's going to work for them. So right now, silver is about $ 85. 82 per ounce. Yes, it's going to fluctuate. I think we're going to hit, I know you and I mentioned it before the show, a point where gold and silver, so gold is at $ 4, 596. 50 per ounce. I think we're going to see a point where it's going to stay around 80 and 80 is going to be the new norm. But that's because the value of the dollar is declining. We've quit making pennies because of the cost of it, which that in its own is its own chaos. I think we're going to see. An influx of cost for living and just food and everything else from the market. And I think, honestly, if you have not already started getting into silver, you are behind the trend. Oh, you're way behind. $ 85? I used to buy silver for $ 19. 90 something. Right. I remember it was $ 20 and $ 30 for the longest time. Then it jumped to $ 50 and then it's been on the rise since. And you see these influx and you could probably talk to the Patriot Power Hour. I imagine they can give you more of a breakdown. But it is because look at the dollar decline and we're seeing it nationally, globally, not. Nationally, but globally. China has had a huge decline. Korea, all of these other countries and. These other China's fooling around with it right now. Right. They're implementing social credit scores to offset the fact that they are losing money because there's no value in their money. So if you cancel out these people's accounts based on their social credit, then you might be able to retain some sort of value in your dollar because then they can't access anything. Oh, so Bill White says here that he started at $ 13 an ounce. That's beautiful, Bill. That's awesome, man. Never see that again. I can promise you that much. No. And so for those who can't afford to invest in an ounce, I would recommend looking into fractionals, whether it be grams or the very low end or grains or the very low end. Don't bother with grains. It takes, you know, grams, quarter ounces, tenth ounces, half ounces at the most. Start where you can afford. But if you're looking into having any sort of precious metal as a backup option as far as currency, then that would be a way to look. Elsewise, as we talk about in the prepping community, barter and trade is always a thing, whether it be bullets, cigarettes, alcohol, skill sets. You know, we have things of value. The value is based on how much that skill set or that item is needed. At the time, cigarettes may cost a lot more than the ability to make a sweater. That's a good one. And then my ability to make a sweater might be more valuable than cigarettes, depending on the time of the year. It's all going to be based on want and need. That is the fact. Sorry, I didn't mean to digress there. Hey, it's all good. It's all good. I do got to wrap it up, though. I can hear my child still upstairs running around. She got 10 ounces at 17 US dollars. Or he did, sorry. 10 ounces for $ 17? Oh, my God. Cosmo, do you want to sell the 10 ounces? I've got $ 20. Yeah, right. I'll give you a triple. Start a bidding war. All right. Well, PBN family, I think we did a great job tonight, Jay Ferg. snare it popped on i think we gave you guys some great predictions i'm doing a whole prediction bunch of shows throughout january so stay tuned for those of you really into let me know i'm just doing them like off the cuff you know like on one particular topic that's true that is true you are you are primed for poppin these days right so that makes sense um but yeah I'd love to hear from you guys. Do you want to leave comments? You want to reach out to us? Let us know what you think we got right, what we got wrong and what your predictions are for 2026 and those prepping goals, man. What are you gonna do all i can tell you is write it down or it ain't gonna happen that's what i live by right and. Then at the end of the year we'll do a recap of this whole show to see where our prediction stood and what actually happened. In the year of 2026 thank god you threw that silver price in there jay for because that will be gold oh When we go back to see what the price is versus what it was. We'll have it now to the coin. All right, folks, we're getting out of here. I don't know. I might be on tomorrow. I might not be. Not sure. But the Patriot Power Hour, guys, will be in the evening. And we will have the next generation is on tomorrow with tactical dog training for Tactical Tuesday. So enjoy that. That'll be a good one. All right, Jay Ferg, enjoy the night. I'll see you guys.
