State of the Union on I AM Liberty

[00:00:05] You're listening here to pay the end Your path back was to be ready here What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God

[00:00:50] I know not what cause others may take As for me, give me liberty or give me death Haa, been a while Been a while since we walked the city with checkie brown Hello America I come to you from behind this particle board desk I ordered from Amazon

[00:01:43] I'm looking at the pictures on the wall There's a guitar hanging You know I have a picture of George Washington on my wall as well The sun set on Joe Biden tonight and fundamentally rise on America We'll see how long that lasts

[00:02:07] We are going to have a state of the Union tonight And that'll be both the American Union and the Pee-Bee and family as well Let's tune this wall just for a minute I haven't heard this one in a while

[00:02:28] I want to feel it right now, I want to feel it I want to feel how it used to feel to kick the back door open in Alameda, Cuba Sit down and wish that I smoked even though I didn't smoke

[00:02:45] because if I smoked then maybe a drag off a cigarette would make me feel a little better Maybe the drag off of that cigarette would give me the energy to finish this whatever it was, 16 hour day

[00:02:56] And I remember seeing such like such level of exhaustion that I would sit there on the curb and I would breathe and the street would breathe with me and I would stare at the street and I would watch the black top inhale and rise and exhale and sink

[00:03:16] And it would happen all the time And I don't know what it was to this day, you know I know it was my brain playing tricks on me but It was so real man Lifetime ago, 18 years ago damn near It's hard to believe, I still dream about it

[00:03:35] Still dream about the dinner rush at Alameda Cuba It occurred to me watching the The thousands of people who don't have to work on a Wednesday Traips through Washington DC today I'm watching all these but my wife remarked on it, she said there's so many people

[00:03:56] And there was, there's a lot of people there We may talk about that a little later but you know what was most My kids they both work okay Nothing severe You know what I mean, but they both have a responsibility, this is not a chore

[00:04:16] They have a responsibility outside of the house to neighbors and they make money from it And You already recognize The vast difference In people who work And people who've never worked And what's really scary, well I look out onto all those people in the crowd

[00:04:39] Look at these sort of Problems with the youth in America And the struggles they're having And I am ever grateful for being in the hospitality industry and really working hard Really working to please another person You know what I mean I mean the customer in the dining room

[00:05:03] Because I can see what happens when people don't And look, I mean you're going to do a state of the union, you have to talk about the people That's inessential

[00:05:16] You're going to do a state of the union, you have to talk about what's going on in the country and the people You have to talk about the demographics a bit right You have to get into all manners of these United States Just is what it is

[00:05:33] It's all a part of the whole We can make believe that We can make believe that you know This other half of the nation that voted for Joe Biden doesn't exist We'll see how serious they are about leaving the nation who knows But

[00:05:52] You know it is what it is What I do know for sure is I'm happy that Joe Biden Made it a quick and easy out He did have a part of the speech that I may replay for you tonight He addressed the nation tonight if you're unaware

[00:06:13] So you're probably better for it And basically did his exit speech And he emphasized the fact that he was in the Oval Office And when he said that, that made me think You might not be in the Oval Office Nah, I don't know what that means

[00:06:26] But he, I mean it was really weird You watch the video and you go like Here I sit in the Oval Office behind the resolute desk And I see various pictures in front of me

[00:06:37] And I thought you know the best way for this guy to go out would be To be behind, to be in front of a green screen And to be lying about where he is I mean that would be That probably will be the conspiracy of tomorrow right So

[00:06:54] Stumpfield and Sloan I see Mulling around in the chat back there What's up everybody It is so good to be with you Wednesday night And I'm going to be on the I Am Liberty iteration I really do like PBN Daily News Don't get me wrong

[00:07:13] But this is the baby This is the flagship of my life now That's what it has become The I Am Liberty show has become the flagship Of my digital remarking life My writing and my Because before I Am Liberty was a podcast It was a website

[00:07:30] It was a blog What I would give To go to read that blog Wow Blog spot I Am Liberty What was it wordpress I think it was I Am Liberty dot wordpress Let's see what comes up The podcast that is re-rooting America It's still up Unbelievable Unbelievable

[00:07:59] Here's the old logo I Am Liberty faithful There's so much good to come Whether we talk about great topics In the weekly show Or have great guests to teach us About how something new About something new The I Am Liberty show has become Something I was new

[00:08:24] I wasn't writing professionally People are listening, liking, following But most importantly enjoying Thanks for the support Look for a new exclusive episode of I Am Liberty on my website monthly It will be at least two hours long With great topics and guests Hope you take advantage

[00:08:42] The future will be littered with writings From your faithful host I have great titles on the horizon Wild edibles, new story sequels Poetry blog posts and God only knows what else Stay fit, stay balanced Stay prepared Back in 2014 that's interesting There's tough roads ahead Let's traverse them together

[00:09:02] On I Am Liberty I had no idea Oh look at this This is when I was writing my web series A book called Tom Locke Tom Locke October 30th The cliffside of killers and recruiters Tom Locke could wait no longer

[00:09:21] He pulled the door handle open with incredible force This shocked the two guards The small bit of mace he released into both Their faces was even more shocking So they reached out both in anger And desperation Niger met the man with the chain Bald around his fists

[00:09:39] That was a typo Screaming wiping The screaming wiping of the eyes came to a screeching halt As their two bodies crumbled to the ground Niger Funny Niger wrapped them right along the temple And turned their world upside down in a hurry Tom felt better about his partner already

[00:09:59] Still AK-47s would be a little harder to stop With just a chain and a pen These two were taken by surprise Hmm It was a really cool book Because One of the standouts Whenever I read a book I never feel like it's enough

[00:10:18] I never feel like the book itself is enough You know what I mean So I always feel like I have to add bonuses Like I read through the book And I'm like, oh, it's pretty good But I need to add bonuses

[00:10:30] And one of the bonuses I added to this Which was a web series Then like a written web series turned into a book Was I went through the Quran And I went through the Bible And I found Messages that were similar And I did that

[00:10:48] Then throughout all of Tomlock I think it's still available on Amazon Just search James Walton and look up my author profile You can see them You can see those So You know, to me it reminds me of like A crossy road You ever played crossy road

[00:11:08] Crossy road is the newer version Of Frogger I'm sure many of you remember Frogger To me the state of the Union right now Seems a lot like Frogger It seems like we're jumping from one Mad mad mad world to the next You know, from the moment

[00:11:29] You could argue it was before this too But from the moment the bullet Cried out In the evening In Butler, Pennsylvania We have been going A succession A succession of just crazy things You know, you went from that The assassination to Almost immediately the self-assassination Of Biden

[00:11:53] That came like pretty quick after Right, oh he's sick He's gone, he's in hiding Where'd he go? Was he the second shooter What happened? To the realization that Oh my God it's going to be Trump vs Harris I think I have to imagine that

[00:12:13] The Democratic convention is going to affirm that And here in the United States It just seems like Seems like we're in an asteroid field And we just keep getting hit Not that it's all bad But you know, it's just these things Bang bang bang

[00:12:32] And I always whenever we're In a tumultuous time like this I read this stuff when I wake up And I go talk about it Whatever Like regular people I try to think about the average American You know And what are they capable of absorbing

[00:12:52] Because here in this country One of the things about the State of the United States That we have to understand Is that we Many people in this country Pay so much in taxes That it's reached levels That are kind of unbearable And what makes it even

[00:13:14] The tax money is being used And for a guy like me I piss and moan about it But I shouldn't Because I don't bear the brunt Of the sacrifice I'm a dad Who gets To hang with his kids all day It's summer break You know what I mean

[00:13:40] I get to hang with my kids all day And even my wife Who works very hard Is in a position where Manipulating her time in a way That her life can be fulfilling In a way that you know People In high profile jobs And even just like retail

[00:14:02] Can't You know what I mean So I don't even really feel The brunt of what it must be like But I'm a very empathetic guy And I feel I try to put myself In the shoes of an American Who works 60 hours a week

[00:14:20] Sees his wife and his children In passing Touch his base with his kids Long enough to Get a handful of things To enjoy it And a reason to go on And then a laundry list Of things to worry about And also to know

[00:14:40] I hope I have enough time This weekend to have Quality time with these people In my life And I'm here on the right path And tell my son he's great And try to bump his confidence You know what I mean All the while knowing

[00:14:58] I gotta go back to work tomorrow early And I won't get home until after six And then you know In that Post dinner Catching of my breath Is my life And The taxes They take away from me Would make a huge difference But instead we're using

[00:15:22] Fight Russian, fight Palestine And give people money in America Who do absolutely nothing I mean literally There's several states and cities Around the country that are giving money To people just to try out Just try out What would it be like If Americans got $500 a month

[00:15:42] Let's see what universal basic income Would look like If you have your pocket And I'm telling you right now If anyone in government cared Even remotely about People, real people And their struggles They would say we're gonna get This inflation thing taken care of And in the meantime

[00:16:09] We're gonna cut taxes So that you don't have to feel it We're gonna feel it It's true Government workers might feel it We may have to have layoffs Here in the government We may have to have layoffs We may have to shoulder a greater burden

[00:16:28] But we're gonna, you know Let some steam off Because we know you need the money But fundamentally PBM family Here's the darkest part of it all In terms of the American condition Years ago I had this realization driving home from work Listening to stories about the border

[00:16:51] Of all things Listening to stories about the border And being a young dad And thinking about the future And saying to myself I feel like a lab rat I feel like this border thing is an experiment And I have no control over it

[00:17:10] And I'm just a part of the experiment What happens when you let X amount of people In a country that don't speak the language And don't have any skills And amidst them Are, you know, drug dealers and monsters What happens to America? What happens to the American people?

[00:17:31] And you come to the realization That watching our representatives Which no longer represent us Watching our representatives Do their thing You realize like The way the governments run now Is one great big experiment Involving the American people And I know it is called an experiment in freedom

[00:17:56] But it's not that kind of experiment It's the kind of experiment where you do crazy shit And the people will see what happens to them We'll just have to wait around and see what happens You want to keep punching Vladimir Putin in the nose Keep punching him

[00:18:14] Let's see what happens Let's see how the American people react To mushroom clouds on the horizon You want to charge up the radical Muslim base Rather than completely extinguish it in the United States We'll just keep it up We'll keep allowing them to do crazy things

[00:18:35] We'll allow them to traipse all over Washington, DC Like they did today And fundamentally you wake up And you're 38 years old And you say to yourself I'm just in one big experiment now And then you thank God And say to yourself Well, at least I have agency

[00:18:55] How many people don't even own a gun? How many people realized Long before it was too late Or after it was too late That they married a person who would never let them have a gun Imagine that conundrum Right? Imagine you got married 10 years ago

[00:19:17] Or whatever before the political and the chaotic Really took over And you wake up in 2024 And you realize, oh God At the very least I need a 20 gauge under the bed Right? Something And you realize that ain't never happening dude Never Unless you want to be single

[00:19:39] Unless you want to be divorced Unless you want to lose the kids Not bringing a gun into my house Crazy I know girls like that Not bringing a gun into my house What if they rape you? So be it I guess I don't know

[00:19:58] I don't know how they answer that question So, you know Just wrapping with you on the state of the American condition You know that being a state of the union That's kind of what the deal is To touch base on the things that are affecting Americans today

[00:20:16] The political sort of Situation that we all face And you know How does it all turn around? I don't know I'm not concerned with that We're going to do our best to elect people And put people in place All over the country The PBN family does their part

[00:20:39] There's no doubt about it And see what we can do You know I do feel like The tide has turned a bit in this country It's hard to feel that way After you see how many thousands of people Have been living in Washington, D.C.

[00:20:56] And you see how deadly brainwashed the women are Who got up on stage I'm going to give you my honest Review of the speakers I spent I spent about 10-15 minutes Watching some of the speakers The allies of Palestine Right, the Palestinian saviors here in America

[00:21:17] The ones who were supposed to change the minds Of the politicians First of all They did nothing to stop Netanyahu showing up at the Capitol And doing his thing Yes, they showed up in great numbers And so on But Congress did their thing

[00:21:36] Israel's going to get more money They're going to get more web Just stop What do you think you're going to do outside Raising the Palestinian flag You think you're going to Win the American people over By raising the Palestinian flag Because most unnerving and almost comical was

[00:21:58] And also very sad Was the delusional people out there today in D.C. They were so delusional And listening to them And listening to the weak women talk On the microphone And say things that were I don't know just old and tired adages Wrapped up with like

[00:22:19] Palestinian buzz words and such What I really felt deeply I don't always feel like the Ra-Ra conservative right wing thing You know a lot of times my intuition Or my gut or whatever it is Feels something altogether different From the popular feeling whatever

[00:22:38] And what I felt was empathy for The Palestinian people Because I realized that If this is their fighting force If this is their representation Here in the United States Then they're doomed Now I didn't feel empathy for Them allowing evil to live amongst them

[00:23:00] You know there are repercussions For that it's biblical You know you can't Willingly allow evil to traipse around The streets of your town neighborhood And not expect bad things to happen Right? You can't allow demons To take up the power Of the people You can't allow demons

[00:23:21] To take up root In your neighborhood And not expect awful things to happen You can't allow Hamas To put bombs underneath schools And expect it to go well for you But I did feel bad because I realized That this group Of losers Believes they're going to change something

[00:23:48] For the Palestinian people And if the Palestinian people look For hope Then I'm sure they gravitate towards this group Of sort of feminist trans Lunatics Who are also pro-Palestinian somehow At one point I was even listening To the Palestinian feminist collective Which I thought was Just adorable

[00:24:14] It was actually comedic When they came up with their banner And masks on Of course they had COVID masks on But nothing says empowerment Like cover your mouth and don't breathe But Nothing says freedom like a COVID mask On a woman, right? I heard this speaker

[00:24:37] And then a speaker after her Also a woman from the Bronx Explained to the crowd that And this is bonkers to me But this is simultaneously terrifying Because on one hand it's like God the Palestinian people are screwed This is their representation These people are as

[00:24:57] Factless and ineffective As about any group I've ever seen But then They are also so mightily brainwashed That it is fundamentally in a zombie-type way Terrifying Because you see the numbers Because both speakers told the audience The reason that Joe Biden is stepping down Is because of you

[00:25:23] Now I'll gather the clip for you if you want to hear it Because it is mind-boggling And this is to thunderous applaud now You know, it wasn't like people looked at each other And went, no No, no, that's not why he's doing this

[00:25:41] Even he got on the air today and said He didn't say anything about the I'm stepping down because of the The immense success of the pro-Palestinian movement But to thunderous applause The thousands of people there cheered on the fact That they had so affected the American political system

[00:26:01] That the president was stepping down However, Benjamin Net-Yahu was in the In the capital and undoubtedly will receive more money And more weapons So Where exists the common sense In all of that It was a tough one It was a tough one to swallow but it was amazing

[00:26:25] It was equally amazing Let's run a quick commercial We'll come back, we'll get into the PBN state of the union Hope you're enjoying yourself Okay, right back in a second What if I told you you could own land for $200 down And highly affordable monthly payments

[00:27:34] We have forced the world to reckon with its role In the genocide of the Palestinian people We have taken to the streets And we have mobilized to incite a crisis For the imperialist powers of the world We have witnessed the green light Of the slaughter of our people

[00:27:52] And today we stand here In our red red light And we are the people of the Palestinian people Today we stand here In our red rage Our steadfastness And our commitment to liberation We embody that crisis As the red line that says No to imperialism No to Zionism

[00:28:14] And no to Netanyahu on our streets They didn't say anything about Ji Jing Ping on our streets As Palestinian feminists We reject the weaponization Of women's rights to justify another imperialist war Palestinian feminists is the sweetest man I'm trying to bring it up

[00:28:36] The people's forum this is not her Capitalist interests While your latest genocidal mouthpieces Fulter and stumble Our dedication to liberation Is only fortified I just want to see her say I just want to see her say That it's them who've done it It's so good

[00:29:15] Let me zoom through her Oh they're revolutionaries also Drones up in the sky They got drones for this How come they didn't have drones at Trump's My dad asked me that He said where is the drone at During the Trump event Come on, come on, come on

[00:29:46] Stop, arming is real Here they come, here they come Are we tired? This is the hope of the Palestinian people I don't want to linger on this I really don't But I want to hear her tell the people That they kicked Biden For the past ten months

[00:30:05] The movement for Palestinian liberation Has been unavoidable We have forced the world To reckon with its role In the genocide of the Palestinian people We are in a crisis We stand here No to imperialism Feminists in Congress Welcome to Netanyahu We are in a crisis We stand here

[00:30:36] As generations of oppressed people Of Palestinian oppressed people Are murdered Tortured And sexually assaulted In the prisons that you fund Freedom Oh my god, it's so brutal Say to the war criminal Netanyahu Netanyahu This is the greatest act of distractivism to data To convince anyone otherwise

[00:31:15] Today Netanyahu and his eighth plan To shake the blood So they're here to distort the truth Come on girl, get to that point Maybe this is it And resist by any means necessary Remember that The mother What the fuck Okay I missed hers

[00:31:48] This next girl that comes up from the Bronx Says it right off the bat Linda Sartos Linda Sartos from the Bronx With the sunglasses on in the clouds Salam alaykum May peace and blessings be upon you all I have one very simple message For all of you today

[00:32:08] Beware of those Beware of the government media conflict That matters The reason that Joe Biden is not at the top Of the nomination of the Democratic Party Is because of you my friends That's all That's all That's all you need to hear That's insanity That's such

[00:32:32] That's such insanity Garden girls as they sound so stupid It is brutal It is brutal to hear There's no doubt about it But it's Again, it was so bad That I was thinking to myself The Palestinian people are doomed If this is their representation in America

[00:32:53] It's a wrap You know what I mean Let's park that I just wanted you guys to hear it You got things like that you have to hear With your own ears Because it makes so little sense That you have to hear the woman say To thousands of people

[00:33:11] The reason Joe Biden stepped down is because You are hoisting Palestinian flags all over the country Now what you could say is The reason Donald Trump's going to win In the fall is because of you That might work But the idea that this guy who can't even

[00:33:28] He struggled to string together sentences And his outgoing speech He made a mistake And they hear the crowd roar In agreement Bananas Pbn family Bananas So whenever I do a state of the union I kind of break it into two parts Because it's like my life

[00:33:51] You know what I mean I have this one column of things that is the nation And my life has to exist within this nation I want the best for it I want the best for all of its people Fundamentally Even these idiots

[00:34:06] When I see these idiots on stage They understand They have contempt for me and you I'm sure I don't have contempt Like I see a girl up there like that Hollering Sunglasses on the middle of the day Clouty Covering faces up Trying to pretend

[00:34:25] Like I want a good life for that person I want that person to have a spouse And kids and something to really go to bat for Something that they can really I mean really give that for that Not about of distractivism

[00:34:37] You get a thing and you help stop the genocide And help shit right Everybody at that protest Fundamentally failed today Not Netanyahu was not run out of town As far as I know I haven't checked on the headlines in a while DC could be on fire right now

[00:34:54] But you know I'd much rather see them all Happily married with children You know what I mean Wanting the best for the country that they live in And the future of their children Maybe not the indoctrination That would probably come with them being parents

[00:35:15] But I don't know man You know I'd love for them to be able to take on their own pursuit of happiness And then that's it Be done with it I don't look at them and say they need to be shipped off to another country Not all of them

[00:35:33] I mean I'm sure there were some in the crowd They could use a shipping off There's no doubt about it But I had to exist in that world That's part of the deal And the world that I've created

[00:35:46] Is the world that I use to deal with that world This world on the prepper broadcasting network Is my universe That I can't say I created it because G-Man created it But it's the universe that I've I guess Tended to and manipulated To And a bit of Therapy

[00:36:13] And a world that is much more Comfortable and more effective to live in And more rewarding to live in Than the one that exists out there Where you know the microphone fundamentally Has been handed off to the lunatics within the asylum That's the best way to put it

[00:36:32] So the left column is often Crap While the right column is often awesome And that's exactly what we have to report on tonight You know For those of you out there listening Something I'm very proud of I mean very happy with how it turned out

[00:36:53] Very happy with the exchange of knowledge That I have to offer for free To anyone Our 50 must read books It's out It's out for everyone 50 must read books to survive Doomsday I know it's an inflammatory title But I am a prepper This is the prepper broadcasting network

[00:38:08] Put some books together That I didn't know about Or that I didn't think about And that's it It's yours If I were you I'd maybe buy an increments of 5 Or something like that So it's not outstanding And build yourself a library I'm sure many of you out there

[00:38:30] Are listening If you're regular listeners And long time preppers But it's awesome We're very proud of it It's an update It's worth talking about I meant to check this out Before the show And I didn't We have two new shows At pbn We're taking advantage

[00:38:56] Of a couple things One is the archives And one is the archive The archive That's bananas That's what we got It came from the archives It's a little bit of Dave Jonesy Retro Different things And I just got into that We were planning

[00:39:30] this weird it came from the archives, you know that it came from beyond sort of thing and I said you know what this is how we will represent our archives from here on out. It's fun, you know, and that's what it is. PBN is pretty fun,

[00:39:45] you know what I mean? And it's a fun way to bring stuff back from the dead and you know I'll throw them in there. What fundamentally what it's gonna be it's not gonna have a time or a date it's gonna be a show that fits in

[00:39:59] when there aren't other shows or on a day where I think we should do an archive show. So it'll be a little bit of a bonus treat that pops up from time to time.

[00:40:08] That's what both of these shows are gonna be. Now today I was creating the artwork, the episode artwork for our newest show which is gonna air tomorrow and this is a show that I really would love other hosts to jump on here at PBN and I'd even

[00:40:30] love some of you to do an episode if you feel so inclined. This is a show that has nothing to do with prepping and nothing to do with survival. It's a show I've been talking about for a while in the back channel with the

[00:40:46] hosts. It's a show I call anything but doom and anything but doom is when you need a break from politics and prepping. Okay? Like when you need a break from food storage and gardening and shooting and tactical training and tac med and

[00:41:06] when you when you need a break from politics and nonsense the whole thing that's when you listen to anything but doom and what anything but doom is is other topics and no no particular topic. I'd love to hear from our hosts the

[00:41:28] wonderful things that they've been into done in their life get excited about or passionate about that have nothing to do with prepping and politics again it's not gonna be the show you listen to if you're thinking I'm gonna get

[00:41:41] started this weekend and really get prepping you know I recorded the first anything but doom way back when did I record this thing properties let's look I recorded this first episode all the way back in May 29th okay and it's

[00:42:05] all about the crow remake and the crow in general because film is huge movies were my life growing up like you have to understand that the way that you look at your child right now like you look at your child if you're a parent when

[00:42:22] they're on an iPad or on their cell phone or on the computer or on some device like you watch them and you're like how many how long can they sit in front of that thing and be totally distracted that was me like that and that

[00:42:35] was me with movies not only would I watch movies back to back I'd watch the same movies over and over and over again every day I don't know how my mother dealt with it I don't know how she dealt with walking into the room and like he's

[00:42:49] watching God help me you know what I mean I'd watch this hours hours two four six hours watching movies so you know I'm I got a lot of insight when it comes to me and some movies really truly affected my life and some movies

[00:43:11] were were just such a big deal to me man you didn't realize I didn't realize until later but they really really really defined me you know and the crows are great when I won't tell you the whole story because I want you to listen to

[00:43:26] it but the story behind how I wound up watching the crow in the movie theaters with my mother in 1993 which means I which means I would have been like seven I was seven years old I don't know if you ever saw the original crow I don't

[00:43:46] know if you know anything about it it's horrendous it's maybe the most tragic story ever written about a couple just I mean it terrible but they marketed as like well I'll let you listen to it tomorrow and you can you can

[00:44:03] figure out how the hell I wound up in a movie theater in a rated R flick like the crow sitting next to my mother seven years old and I mean I just I would give almost anything I own to be in my mother's head as that movie played

[00:44:20] in the movie theaters wild flick and now they're remaking it and there's a lot I got a lot of thoughts about that okay I get a lot of thoughts about a lot of things that I never talk about and a lot of our hosts are amazing people who

[00:44:39] have a lot of you know data built into them stories history day I mean we could do a Dave Jones history show that would be great to listen to you know what I mean but all of them you know everyone has lived a life and an interesting life

[00:44:55] at that so anything but doom is the new show that we're gonna put out for when you need like a I guess need a break I need a break from the nonsense I don't

[00:45:08] want to listen to Ben Shapiro I don't want to listen to any of them I just want to listen to something completely out of the ever do that I do that from time

[00:45:17] to time I don't know if people do that but I do that from time to time like I want to listen to something that has nothing to do with nothing I'm not interested in it I don't know what it is just tell me about something that

[00:45:29] isn't the end of the world I have a feeling you guys would benefit from it what else what else is happening in the PBN world should we take a break and do preppers in the news I really do want to get to this preppers in the news

[00:45:46] article yeah let's do it what the heck I don't have a preppers in the news sound bite anymore I do but it's not on my soundboard at the moment what is this why do I have this on here this is gonna be preppers in the news now

[00:46:13] this is the Gotham get-out music it's so good our pbn family that's do it preppers in the news yeah that's sweet that sweet Gotham get-out was so much fun oh my god thank you future Dan and thank you

[00:46:38] Ben the breaker of bangsters and thank you Jones family I mean the Jones family really did hook it up for Gotham get out anyhow the Idaho in the state journal the Idaho state journal written by a guest columnist July 6 his name is

[00:46:55] Trent Clark if this is him Trent you're you're doing it dude opinion piece patriots are prepared not preppers this is a I mean look it's weird right it feels that the headline hits me in the solar plexus because I love preppers most

[00:47:22] you hear what I'm about to tell you most of my favorite people are preppers that's my life you know what I mean like most most of my favorite people are preppers the people that I interact with most are preppers to some degree or

[00:47:39] another like that's how much my life has changed so when I see a guy like Trent I get a little nervous I don't want to hate you Trent you got a nice bookshelf

[00:47:48] behind you you know you got the old guy one eye bigger than the other look going and I don't know let's see what Trent has to say having just celebrated the birth of America we cannot ignore how many Americans are now actively and

[00:48:04] actively anticipate invest and vote assuming it's impending destruction it's a great first line it's it's a little run-on but it's good the idea is good having just celebrated the birth of America we cannot ignore how many Americans now actively anticipate invest and vote assuming it's impending

[00:48:24] destruction then he goes into a finder survey and talks about how much prepping doomsday prepping has increased it's estimated to be 11 billion dollar a year national consumer market one that I can't seem to tap for some reason just

[00:48:44] kidding and the say I see so many people making so much money off prepping I get like crazy in that what the hell am I doing wrong anyway and the segment of society most likely to be preppers Gen Z nearly 40% of Americans born

[00:48:59] 1997 to 2012 respond that they've active their active that's not true most likely to be preppers the prepper demographic has always been like 35 to 65 that's not Gen Z right anyway 1997 to 2012 respond that they're actively bracing for a doomsday event or disaster that when society as it is currently structured

[00:49:24] well that happened fundamentally 2020 was that right the structure of society hasn't changed from 2020 till now what is wrong with being prepared in case the grid goes down in case the Federal Reserve stops moving money and in case

[00:49:41] federal emergency management restraint and doesn't show up for days weeks or even months after disaster hey Trent they're not going to show up at all do you know how many FEMA workers there are in a major disaster that that

[00:49:53] affects the entire nation no FEMA is coming to most people and what are they going to do when they get there oh the water in the powers off we don't have enough water for the whole nation sorry don't eat me nothing period sophisticated

[00:50:12] and highly technical technology driven national and international supply chains and risk management systems can fail COVID-19 taught us that but there's an attitude or no world of difference between being prepared for societal upheaval and actively making such failure of our constitutional system the default

[00:50:28] assumption here are three reasons preparing is better than prepping preparing is better than prepping first preppers often make the mistake that survival will become an individual responsibility the wiser preppers modify this assumption to add survival of the family as the goal but humankind's

[00:50:49] collective experience with disaster suggests a community survival is what matters most it's a good point it's what I've been making for a decade second preppers emphasize personal defense the idea is that one owns stockpile of food

[00:51:04] and survival essentials will in the face of a societal collapse be vulnerable to looting the well-armed can defend their stash this logic survives only as long as the stash survives after that production of survival needs becomes a

[00:51:18] bigger challenge in defense of wealth the American experience is that open free markets with plenty of opportunities specialized villain each demands it's more robust reliable cost effective system for generating the goods and services needed yeah I can get with that I can get with that trend

[00:51:33] that's self-reliance that's self-reliance right is do here's my so here's the question because I don't I don't see this in the ranks of preppers but maybe I'm mistaken people who look at preppers from the outside tend to

[00:51:51] see people who stockpile and that's it do the vast majority of preppers stockpile and that's it because the preppers that I know almost all of them are producing something right even if it's a small garden they're producing something I

[00:52:10] mean we got Jay Fergen South Carolina essentially in like a condo with chickens you know what I mean so first of all don't say you can't because that's bullshit and second of all most preppers that I know are

[00:52:24] producing and third the system our founders created back in the 18th century was highly dependent on a shared attitude the hope that humans can govern themselves in many ways it was a gamble a shot in the dark based on the

[00:52:39] premise that while never tried before the very value of self-government to each individual would sustain it in perpetuity preppers who plan to abandon the Constitution are cowards who they've given up on the very fight that is worth fighting there's something to that there is something to that it's

[00:53:01] the idea of self-governance abandoned because we believe that everything will fall into chaos I don't know I can see like a bunch of hosts getting on me about that right now and saying don't don't buy into the hope him but still

[00:53:18] there is something to that to to Trent's third point I'll give you that you I had to get down to number three but number three I think you're right there are some things you know what I mean that the collapse of society that the

[00:53:33] fantastical idea of the collapse of society and how it stands against the yeah the idea that people can get along and self-govern I am blown away that's fundamentally the article just last week the US Supreme Court issued a series of

[00:53:55] decisions reversing a failed habit of relinquishing power to a caretaker government in difficult times restoring individual responsibility bullets weren't what succeeded persuasion and logic or what prevailed is the fight for a free society over no it is lost also no it's at times like these we do

[00:54:17] not need more preppers what we need are more patriots capable of defending the principles upon which America was founded not with bullets but with superior problem-solving ideas that's how he ends the article I think he made

[00:54:35] a decent point on number three however here's here's what you need to be a patriot if you want to be a patriot who stands against true tyranny and stands and is even remotely capable of defending the principles upon which

[00:54:53] America was founded you better have a base level of preparedness you better have some level of self-sufficiency you better have an emergency fund right you better have some silver or something along those lines because we have seen

[00:55:09] people lose their job over political morease we have seen people defending the principles upon which would I mean look at the First Amendment the literally standing for the First Amendment can get you demonetized if you're an internet

[00:55:25] guy it can get you fired if you say the wrong things at work doesn't matter if it has anything to do with First Amendment right so you know being a quote-unquote patriot costs you know there's a cost attributed to that

[00:55:42] standing up for your second amendment rights yeah there's a cost to that there's a definite cost to that what are you gonna do you're gonna go into work and tell your boss I'm carrying my firearm and worked now because of

[00:55:55] the second amendment you know what I mean so and I know that there's that whole public-private thing but look all I'm saying is in the America of today just like in the America of yesteryear you better have a base level preparedness

[00:56:14] you better have the capability and the knowledge to be self-sufficient this day and age because how else are you gonna sustain if you think that standing up and defending the principles of America the founding principles of America is a

[00:56:29] duty that will come without consequence not true no you're gonna suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as Shakespeare said so that is what it is you know if you're yeah I made my point not bad Trent not bad we're in

[00:56:51] this thing together though buddy it's all I tell you we're in this thing together there's no point in dividing the preppers from Patriots so to Springs president and CEO of custom-alting incorporated thanks for the article man

[00:57:08] it was a good look I enjoyed it PBN family listen to me I sent an email out I've been reminding you about this situation I have to tell you one more time because we are doing a state of the Union if you've been waiting for

[00:57:27] membership if you've been thinking about membership we're running a special $50 for the year go to pbnfamily.com start your membership use the promo code Y2K24 Y2K24 all one word if you will and that'll get you that $10 discount

[00:58:10] our last announcement what is that what is that new series for members I talked about it with the members for a little while I'd long bandied about this idea one of the things that I never really do as a prepper is review stuff

[00:58:24] gear and stuff I never do it I so rarely do it because I'm not really like super passionate about gear it's not something I wake up thinking about my flashlight I would just so in love with this light but I got a lot prepping gear and I

[00:58:39] got a lot of information and knowledge and experience using it and you know in I'm gonna get personal now and divulge some thoughts when I watch a guy like flipping peanuts in the air with a spoon and catching them in his earhole and he

[00:58:59] has 2.5 million views on YouTube and it's late at night I'll say to myself like if this guy can do it I can do it and then I'll start I would start daydreaming about you know putting on a more mild prepping channel all about

[00:59:18] reviewing gear and affiliate links and making money and then it occurred to me one day like well first of all I've decided I don't want to do business in the Kings Court at all anymore you know I really am fundamentally disgusted by

[00:59:36] it all and then it occurred to me you know I have this base of people already they are the membership in other words produce content for a bunch of people who are gonna you know YouTube's gonna take half and then you know who

[00:59:54] gets to watch it yeah I don't I don't silly but in the in the wee morning hours when you know your your brain is like go to bed and you're out there trying to plan that how you're gonna take over the world

[01:00:07] things like that pop up and then fundamentally I talked to the PBN membership in the element chat and said hey what if I do a gear show what if I do another series a gear series because we got a fitness series we've got a

[01:00:22] bushcraft series we've got a minimally populated blacksmiths series that I really need to get back to work on an entrepreneurial series and now we have a gear series and the name is very simple it's it just popped into my head I

[01:00:39] sat out on the back out in the backyard to record the first video about my basically my EDC flashlight my power tack M5 and I don't know just just thought family gear family gear so the new the new series for the members will be

[01:01:02] called family gear and it will be exclusively prepper gear review that that's it that's what it'll be a piece of prepper gear how I've used it how I use it I call it family gear for two reasons first being this is the PBN

[01:01:18] family never forget right and second because most of the things that I buy are geared towards sustaining my family and it collapse right or in even in a short-term disaster and whether you realize it or not when you get into that

[01:01:37] mind frame of like picking out perhaps buying gear you start to think fundamentally like alright I know I can use it but can they use it how hard will it be for them to use it you know what I mean so yeah you're welcome

[01:01:54] members another great series and we're gonna have a great time with it and I don't know I'm very proud of PBN family calm and what we've created over there for our members it's amazing so if you're if you've been on the fence now's

[01:02:45] that what else before you hit the road folks I think that's fundamentally it I think that's basically it I got this overwhelming desire but I'm so unprepared I can't do it I want to read something I want to read you something good I feel I

[01:03:04] am liberty-ish you know what I mean I did the checky brown I did the preppers in the news I did the you know the free association and now I'm just sitting here like like the way I used to do it Matthew Arnold no I read that one to

[01:03:18] death though I love that picture of my son man rugby chapel is highlighted by a basketball card we could do uranium uranium is good what am I doing why am I why do I do this stuff in my head yeah yeah yeah yeah I act like there's some

[01:04:10] hue mistaken what of that or else rightly traced and well-ordered what of that speak as they please what does the mountain care now listen pbn family this is powerful ah but a man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a

[01:04:29] heaven for all is silver gray placid and perfect with my art the worst I know both what I want and what might gain and yet how profitless to know to sigh had I been to another in myself our head would have overlooked the world no

[01:04:47] doubt yonder's a work now of that famous youth the urban eight who died five years ago well I can fancy how he did it all pouring his soul with kings and popes to see reaching that heaven might so replenish him above and through his

[01:05:02] art for gives way that arm is wrongly put in there again a fault to pardon in the drawings lines its body so to speak its soul is right he means right that a child may understand still what an arm I could alter it but all the play

[01:05:20] the insight in the stretch out of me out of being where for out had you enjoying them on me given me so we might have risen to Raphael I knew nay love

[01:05:33] you did give all I asked I think more than I merit yes by many times but had you owe with that same perfect brow and perfect eyes and more perfect mouth and low voice my soul hears as a bird the foulers pipe and follows to the snare

[01:05:50] had you with these same but brought a mind some women do so at the mouth their urge God in glory never care for gain the present by the future what is that

[01:06:03] live for fame side by side with agnola in this world who can do a thing will not and who would do it cannot I perceive yet the wills somewhat somewhat to the power and thus we have men struggle at the end God I conclude compensates punishes
