Starting point is 00:01:10 the Confessionals, bonus round. That's right. We have a bonus segment here for you today because this is not really an episode I typically would put out on a Tuesday or a Thursday, but I definitely obviously want to put it out. So I have Bobby coming on the show today and he is from EMPShield.com. They are now a new affiliate with the confessionals. They have been a new affiliate for actually about six months now that you hear this. I actually say on this recording three months, but it's been three months since I recorded it. It's been about six months since I've had this affiliate, but I've been holding on to it because timing. And I just wanted to make sure that it was a good affiliate for everybody. I do believe it's a great affiliate for everybody. And now I'm ready to share this affiliate with the world. EMP Shield is a company that creates products that will protect your house and even your cars from EMP blast. And so I know it sounds crazy because we're told that that's impossible. It's not impossible.
Starting point is 00:02:02 They've created a device that will protect your vehicles and your house in case of an EMP blast. And he comes on today to talk about the product. We talk about why it's important, what could happen in the future that causes these kind of things happening. It's really a great conversation, a very dystopian conversation at times, which is right up my alley. You guys know that. But I am partnered now with EMPShield.com. If you go to EMPShield.com and you order any of their products, all you got to do is put the coupon code, Tony, T-O-N-Y in checkout. So when you go to checkout, they'll ask for the coupon code.

That is a great deal right there waiting for you if you're interested in these products. EMPShield.com, coupon code Tony. Let's get to the conversation with Bobby and why it's important to protect your house and your cars from EMP Blass. And what could happen if these kind of things happen. All right, today we got Bobby on from EMP Shield. How you doing, man? Pretty good, buddy. Thanks for having me on. Dude, this has been a long time coming. So let me tell you a story about me. I have my Patriot Supply as a sponsor for the show.
Starting point is 00:03:36 And I had my Patriot Supply for a sponsor for the show for about a year before I even started talking about it on the show. and it was because I kept in my back pocket. This was about 2019. Like, I would say probably around February, March of 2019, I got them as an affiliate. And I decided to just keep in my back pockets. It just didn't feel like it didn't fit in the sense, the vibe that I was rolling with at the time. But I had a gut feeling that something was coming. And I just, I was like, I think I need my Patriot supply to offer to people.
Starting point is 00:04:13 but not yet. So I got the ball rolling. I got that whole thing set up and then I hadn't used it for months and months and months and then I saw in November, early December of 2019, this weird thing happening out of China. And I started talking to guys at work. I was still driving truck at the time. And I started talking to guys at work about it. And I was like, guys, there's something happening right now in China. We should be really careful with and pay attention to. because it seems like this could take over the whole world. And the guys were like, oh, here we go again, Mr. Conspiracy Theories. Hey, did you see Bigfoot lately?
Starting point is 00:04:52 You know, and just like, just razzing me. And I'm just like, okay, you know, like, I didn't really think a whole lot about it because, like, I mean, I personally did. But, like, I didn't think past it, past like, hey, I should really be, you know, running around sounding the alarm. And then I remember in early January, it really started. kicking. And then by, I think it was like February, like things really started popping here. And guys were like, you were right. I was like, I told you guys. I told you guys. I told you this was right. I'm quitting my job now. Good luck. Right. Now, we'll revisit the other things I warned you about and think about the life choices you've made. Right. Right. So I actually stayed at the company
Starting point is 00:05:39 for another year, but I actually had about seven, eight weeks off when the, when the whole world shut down, the trucking industry died off hard. And I actually used that time to build a studio in my basement of my house because at the time we were expecting my daughter. And I remember during that time being laid off, building the studio, I was doing it with a friend of mine, Kyle. And I just, it hit me. I was like, I have that affiliate link with my Patriot Supply. I think this is a good time to start talking about it, right? And it was around that time. And so I started talking about it. And it was just one of those things where I felt really good about it, you know, because it was something that I felt I was just, it wasn't about the idea of my Patriot Supply, pushing sales to them, and then having people, having people buy the stuff and me getting a kickback. As much as it was, I wanted to raise awareness to people that they needed to be prepared for a bad situation.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Sure. And timing is everything with this sort of stuff. If you look at a lot of the prepper channels on YouTube or whatever, they have 95 affiliate links. And I'm all about making your money. But when you have that much to go through, you're not reaching anybody because people get bored after the third link. Exactly. Exactly. And it's one of those things where I wanted to people understand where I'm coming from.
Starting point is 00:07:03 That's why they'll hear me sometimes in the show say, when I'm talking about in the beginning, I'll say, check out prepare with the confessionals.com. And if you don't want to buy from there, just go to Costco and get some. rice and beans. That will work too. Just make sure you're prepared. And it's, it's almost like it was gave me an open door to talk to people about things that were outside the paranormal. Because there's a lot of people that listen to the show that come for paranormal. And there's a lot more to me other than a paranormal guy. And sometimes it was hard to kind of figure out how to work that in. And so it was a great opportunity. And so the reason why I'm bringing you on today is because
Starting point is 00:07:39 EMP Shield is going to be another sponsor of the show. And I wanted you to come on a day to obviously talk about the product because I remember, and this is a prime example. Like, I've been affiliate, like EMP Shield has been affiliate to Merckle to the confessionals, not Merkel media, for at least three or four months now. And I haven't even talked about it. And it's because I just wanted to make sure that I presented it to the audience the right way. And so I wanted somebody from the company coming on board to the show to talk about it. And so I want you to talk about what EMP Shield is and why it's important. And we'll have a good fun conversation warning the people that, hey, the world's going to burn and crash and make sure your car runs.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Right. Yeah, absolutely. And I'm happy to discuss all the stuff with you. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to finally actually get to meet you past the initial phone calls we had months ago. Yeah. So let's start off with the basics then. EMP Shield is a company that offers a very unique product that I think is awesome. And I've talked to people about it already in my personal everyday life.
Starting point is 00:08:49 They thought it was a great idea. And they're like, where can I get? I'm like, I'm not telling you yet, bro. I wait until I get the whole affiliate thing going with my show. So why don't we talk about that? What are the products that EMP Shield offers and how do they work and why do people need them? Okay, well, first of all, the EMP shield line of products is essentially the very first whole home and vehicle and other items as well, other electrical systems. The first civilian available whole home EMP protective device.
Starting point is 00:09:21 It installs on your breaker box just like any type 2 search protector would. Only it is far more robust. I like to describe it as a cascading series of technologies inside the box that you're going to, you know, the box that the EMP shield is. It is essentially a way that we have discovered and marketed to shunt the overage from an EMP.
Starting point is 00:09:45 An EMP happens in three phases, the E1, the E2, and the E3, and our products are rated militarily to shunt in all three phases. For members of your audience who don't understand how an EMP works or might not be completely up
Starting point is 00:10:00 on how an EMP works. An EMP, it's short for electric magnetic pulse, a nuclear weapon or a super EMP weapon is detonated in the atmosphere, and it creates an EMP. And this EMP goes in all directions, and it hits the ionosphere and bounces back to the earth. And then from the bottom part of that explosion, that shock wave goes straight to the earth. And it causes this reverberation between the ionosphere and ground level, and basically it fries your electronics.
Starting point is 00:10:31 It completely induces negative electrons into. everything. And it can basically builds up heat over time, a very short amount of time. And that overage that causes that heat is what essentially will fry everything in your electronics. So the
Starting point is 00:10:48 E1 portion, it's super quick. We're talking very, very, very quickly. We're talking nanoseconds. We're talking trillions of a second. We're talking the amount of speed that most people can't even physically comprehend because it happens so quickly. The E2
Starting point is 00:11:04 portion happens slower than the E1, but still at an incredible rate of speed. And each of those lasts for a very short amount of time. It's that E3 portion that really becomes the devastating part of the EMP. That first part is going to knock out large, your antenna, your homes, your cars, satellites, cell phone towers, all of those things are going to get knocked out instantly when that E1 portion of an EMP happens. And as you progress through the three stages, by the time, you get to that E3 portion, that can last up to eight hours. And most people don't realize
Starting point is 00:11:39 that that portion lasts for a very long time. And essentially what the E3 portion is, it's the ionosphere re-correcting its shape around the world. When that bomb goes off in space and that reverberation happens, it misshapes the ionosphere and it causes it to wobble. And that E3 portion is basically the wobbles slowing down over time and realigning itself with the curvature of the earth. during that time, these negative ions are inducing into everything that comes from that bomb. And so that's where your big stuff gets hit. Your hundreds of thousands of miles of electrical lines, for example, your large portions of your grid. That's what's going to kill that stuff because that heat is building up for that whole time.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And it's just frying, frying, frying, frying, frying, everything. And the magic sauce of the EMP shield is our speed. That's what really put us ahead of every other product on the market, is that the speed that we operate in is also in nanoseconds. And so as those portions of that EMP are occurring, our device is quick enough to shunt that overage straight to ground, and it does so multiple times with little to no degradation, depending on the unit you have.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So this unit that people get on their houses and stuff works so fast, And that is literally what set you guys apart then, is the efficiency of how it works? Correct. It's very, very fast and it's very robust. When we had these things tested and we've had them tested at two national laboratories, we had them tested at Keystone Compliance and then at MetaTech Labs. And for those who don't know, MetaTech Labs is run by a guy by the name of Dr. Radowski. He is the godfather of everything EMP. He has briefed every president from Carter-on.
Starting point is 00:13:27 The guy is in charge of the U.S. EMP Commission. He knows everything that there is to know about the threat and the manner on which an EMP works. He personally tested our stuff, and our stuff took hit after hit after hit, dozens of hits with no degradation, and it just continuously shunted that overage, basically saving the electronic. Earlier, you heard me say that it's a cascading series of technologies. There are multiple technologies inside of that EMP shield device. And the way I explain it to people who have very little understanding of electricity is when that overage is detected by the device, it starts shunting.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And that first series of technologies kicks in immediately. And it shunt, shunt, shunt, shunts, all that directly into the ground. As those, that first set of technology starts reaching a certain level of use, it load shares down to the next set of technologies in that box. It starts also shunting into the, you know, using the same device into the ground. and it does that through three different technologies. So by the time that E3 portion is over, you've had a stair step event, if you will, within the device as it continuously shunts all that overage directly to ground.
Starting point is 00:14:38 The vehicle units, the 12-volt units, all the DC stuff that you can use. It basically takes the frame of your vehicle and your battery, and it turns it into a large grounding device, and it cyclically draws down that overage over time until the overage is no longer present at the end of the ecosystem. 3 portion of an EMP. And it uses the frame and the battery of your vehicle
Starting point is 00:14:59 much the same way that the grounding rod inside of your home that's, you know, by your breaker box would shunt directly to ground. This shunts directly to the frame of your vehicle and pulls that overage away from the microprocessors and other electronics within your car so that the heat cannot
Starting point is 00:15:15 build up to such a degree where it damages your vehicle or your home or your solar system or your generator or your radio antenna or whatever. So that's really the the secret. It's the speed in which we do things in the series of technologies that our founder, Mr. Tim Carty, our head engineer, basically discovered that if he put them in a certain order, it would do that load sharing kind of cascading effect I was talking about, and it would just
Starting point is 00:15:41 draw that energy down and continuously draw it down. That's incredible. So this is something that people can get for the house, the car. You said solar. So this works on solar systems as well? Yes. Yes, most solar systems. There are a few of those, you know, enclosed. solar units like the little prepper packages where you get a small generator, some stuff. Some of those we don't protect, not because we can't, but because it requires NDAs between companies and the company has to even want the product and it generally has a special plug that's not wired in the exact same way that it would be towards your house with using breakers or whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:15 We can protect any electrical system that there is. The only things we do not go out of our way to purposely protect are electrical cars. and the reason we don't protect electric cars. Again, each electric car, everything we do is based on voltage. And each electric vehicle has its own proprietary voltage, and we would have to sign NDAs with every single vehicle manufacturer and have to produce units for every single model should that voltage be slightly up or down of the next model over.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And with five people buying one particular model of electric cars or 10 people over here, it just isn't worth our time. And the R&D it would take to actually protect electric vehicles. If you have a hybrid, something with the gas side and an electric side, we can certainly protect the gas side. And it will at least get you home. It might not run as best as it would. You know, both sides were operating in tandem the way the vehicle is designed, but it'll get you home. So how hard are these to install? I mean, is it something that, like, if I bought it today, I could install it once I get it myself or do I need to have an electrician come out and do it? We recommend for the purposes of the warranty that you have a licensed electrician install it.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I had mine installed by an electrician, but I also have friends who are not. electrician, and when I watched them install it, I'm like, I could do that. It's very, very simple. The home units, there are four wires that come out of it, red, black, white, and green. The red and the black, go to two separate 15 amp breakers on either side of your breaker box, and then the ground and the neutral, which is the white and the green, they go to each of your bus bars, and that's all you have to do. Then it's just a matter of mounting it to the wall or the side of the breaker box or inside the breaker box, depending on what kind of breaker box you have. The vehicle models are stupid. I've installed dozens of them for people, including my own vehicles. It literally has a
Starting point is 00:17:56 very, very robust military, I can't say Velcro, I think it's hook and loop, whatever it is, system, and it sticks to the inside of your vehicle somewhere on the frames. You clean it off with some rubbing alcohol, make sure it's free from dust and dirt, and you just stick it there. And then you have three wires, black, red and green. So you're red and your black, go to your negative and positive terminals of your battery, and the green goes the opposite direction to a grounding bolt on the frame and that's it. And then past that, it's just cosmetic. You know, you use your wire ties or whatever to kind of move the wires around and keep them from rubbing on things and making it look good under the engine. But that's all it is, is three wires on the
Starting point is 00:18:33 vehicle model. That's really nice. Now, so you get these for the vehicle, the house, solar systems, any kind of electronics. Now, are they reusable if the EMP, like say, it's been, it's been happening a lot in the news. So like Putin, you know, is, you know, bad guy Putin. So, uh, if he decides to not nuke, but strategically
Starting point is 00:19:02 EMP bomb us, with the EMP attack, um, after that initial attack, will the device still work or will we need another one? Um, the prevailing wisdom is it depends on the size of the weapon used.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Um, like I said, these things are going to work through that entire period of time. So theoretically, you know, no one's ever actually dropped an EMP. Everything we've done is by national testing. But theoretically, at the end of that, if it has continued for that eight-hour period of time, I suppose in some circumstances, it would continue to work. What I can tell you is what we do know, as far as other forms of electrical overages, such as a lightning strike, if lightning hits your house and you have this attached, that unit will sacrifice itself. you're going to have to get a new one.
Starting point is 00:19:50 At that point, you contact us, and we give you a new one for $50, just a restocking fee. Oh, wow. Okay. And we have an entire wall at the factory of all these units that have come back that have saved electrical systems. Of course, they're kind of split,
Starting point is 00:20:06 and you see some black charring because of the potting that gets kind of dusted out of there. And there's some burn marks on the side of the units and things of that nature, little electrical scuffs or whatnot. but we have scores, if not hundreds of these that have come back to us that have worked and we've replaced them for people. That's awesome. Yeah. So, I mean, that's, oh, man, I don't know how many companies out there would do something like that, you know? It's more like, hey, you bought our product. It works. Congratulations. You're going to have to buy it again. So it works again for you. And you guys are like for 50 bucks. Here's another one. It's like, what?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah, $50. And we're the only company that has a standalone insurance policy on these. That's specifically covers lightning. If you look at some of the other big companies like Siemens and some of the other big search protectors, you know, whole home search protectors, they'll tell you they protect you from lightning. But in the warranty it says does not cover acts of God. Well, what's lightning? Let's say that you put one of those other devices on your home and it doesn't work for some reason. You're not going to be able to claim that on their warranty. Also, ours is what's called a standalone insurance policy. You put our universe, on your house, something in it doesn't work correctly, and you lose a bunch of stuff in your
Starting point is 00:21:23 house from a lightning strike. You contact us, we put you in touch with our insurance company, and they pay out $25,000 replacement cost. You don't have to go through your homeowner's insurance the way you would with all these other products on the market. Every other product out there that I'm aware of, you have to, if you make a claim against the insurance policy on the device, if it fails, you have to go through your homeowner's insurance first, which of course has the potential to drive your rates up. And then after you've haggled with them, paid your deductible, gone through all that, all that nonsense, then you can contact the company that gave you that type two surge protector and then work with them and potentially fight them for three weeks too.
Starting point is 00:22:00 We just pay out. And to date, I don't believe we've had almost any instances. I'm not aware of a single instance where we've actually had to pay out. I'm not saying they're not there. I'm just not aware of one. Wow. Yeah. I mean, if you can save me from going through the hassle of a home insurance, I think that is a nightmare. It is. So that's something that I wasn't really thinking about as well. It's like there's natural things that could happen to outside of an attack on the homeland. Lightning Strikes, you mentioned and stuff. Something I imagine it happens a lot. I've never had it happen, but I'm sure it happens a lot. One of the very first things I dealt with when I came to this company over a year ago now
Starting point is 00:22:44 was a local rural water district in Kansas, very close to where I live. A little rural water district in the middle of nowhere, it serviced about 1,200 people. And they had purchased, we didn't know they had purchased. They had just bought it online. They purchased a three-phase unit for one of their pump houses. They went out for their weekly inspection and the unit was blown off the wall hanging by the wires. They're like, oh, what happened?
Starting point is 00:23:11 So they went back and looked through the security camera footage and the pole across the street had been struck by lightning. Blew the unit off the wall. The unit cracked. There was a little scorch marks up the side of the cinder block wall. $65,000 pump, save. 1,200 people that didn't have to go on a temporary boil order and something else for your folks to think about
Starting point is 00:23:31 that we've discovered through all of this is that right now because of the shipping crisis when I was talking to that guy, he said it would have taken three months to get a new pump. And that was back in 2021. That's not even now where things are still bottlenecking in many respects. So can you imagine being in some small rural water district and having to either, A, be on a boil order for a while or wait for them to redirect water and redirect lines? That would probably take a week, two weeks, three weeks, depending on the level of, you know, shifting around they have to do,
Starting point is 00:24:03 our units, a $450 box on the wall saved all of that. Wow. That's nice. And now it's like a water treatment plant, you said? Oh, a pump station. So you have your big plants. Then you have your pump stations that are all out of the rural areas that pump the water through
Starting point is 00:24:19 from the large stations out to the various neighborhoods and housing developments and whatever. So, I mean, we also can protect against CME, coronal mass ejection. The sun gets angry, throws out some powerful CMEs. We can protect from that. And even something as simple as dirty electricity.
Starting point is 00:24:35 You have a crappy electrical substations somewhere out in the middle of BFE and all of your incandescent bulbs are constantly burning out and every now and then your power flickers and your stuff's dying quicker than it should because you're getting those little over voltages from that
Starting point is 00:24:51 old infrastructure. Our stuff cleans that up to. That's awesome. Yeah. I think these are a lot of things that people don't even think about, you know, and it's one of those things where it's never never something you really walk around wondering and hoping it doesn't happen to you. It's just you don't think about it. Sure. And this is something that it can be very preventive for the future of your family when it comes to this kind of stuff. You can prevent a lot of heartache and financial
Starting point is 00:25:17 destitute for some things. I mean, I can't imagine, like say a lightning hits my house. And for whatever reason, the home insurance is like, sorry, you know, like there's, you missed that loophole on the bottom corner of the page of, you know, page 72, you know, like, it's just, I don't want to be stuck with having to replace a fridge, washers, dryers, all that stuff, God forbid a computer. Like, you know, like, I almost would rather replace my, my fridge, washer, and dryer before I had to replace the computer. Yeah, you know, I know. I need to keep moving.
Starting point is 00:25:54 You'll get those things on Marketplace or Craigslist or whatever, but for guys like you who do this as a living, you're going to need a certain parameter of requirements for what you have. You can't just buy something on marketplace from eight years ago. Exactly. Exactly. I actually, because I was just, while you were talking, I was thinking, man, I need to look into getting this for the studio. Because I'm outside my house now. I work at an office building, but the owner of this building, he's pretty laid back. And so I don't think he'd care if I hooked something out to the breaker box. I think he'd be like, thank you. Make, make your first say. to him and get your first affiliate check from him.
Starting point is 00:26:31 For sure. For sure. You know, like, I'll be like, hey, man, you own a lot of buildings around here. Let me tell you about a great company. Sure. But yeah, speaking of that and stuff, I want to tell people they can check out all the products and purchase whatever they like at EMPShield.com. And when you're checking out for the section where it says coupon, if you put Tony in there,
Starting point is 00:26:59 it'll knock $50 off for you. So that's, you know, that's really a great deal. I mean, knocking $50 off this and you're getting such a superior product. Now, I will tell people, the people listening and stuff, a lot of them are probably familiar if they've listened to the show in the last like six months. My friend William from Permapesters Farms, he's the one who turned me on to you guys and he uses them and he loves you guys. Like, he's just like, his enthusiasm,
Starting point is 00:27:29 for the product is what got me to contact you guys. Right, right. No, William's good people. I've actually known his dad for about 15 years. Him and I were involved with the preparedness stuff in Kansas a long time ago. And, yeah, we've been friends a long time. William's good people. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:27:47 So you probably told me this a while ago when we were talking, and I forgot this. So are you a preparer as well, Prepper? I don't know if Prepper's a bad word. Yeah, I don't shy away from that term the way a lot of people do. For people like me, it's just Tuesday. But yeah, you could classify me as a prepper. You can classify me as a budding homesteader, certainly a freesteader. So yeah, I'm all the above.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I believe in having a general state of preparedness for virtually anything. Now, I'm not a doomsday. I'm not one of those retards who runs around and digs down and makes, you know, a survival bunker that can also have rocket pods on the side of it so pops up in case for flood and float. I don't go to that length, but I certainly have some beans and rice in my basement. I've got guns. I've got ammo. I've got some silver coins put away and everything else that, you know, I raise ducks and geese. I, you know, for meat, I butcher my own hams and cows every year. I don't buy meat from the supermarket. I have a garden, you know, all the above. Yeah. That's what,
Starting point is 00:28:46 that's what I'm budding to do myself. I, uh, William's been, uh, teaching me here and there. He's actually coming out to my place soon and he's bringing half a pig with him. He said, you want half a pig? And I was like, yeah, how much? He's like, it's free. You're doing us a favor. We don't have any space in our freezer for the other half. I'm just like, there you go.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Awesome, man. Is he going to make you do any of the butchery? Well, I don't think this time around, but I would like to because we're getting some pigs ourselves. And there's a reason for that I don't need something to pet. You know what I mean? Sure. I'm, I'm trying to train myself now for a future. You know, I don't really have a.
Starting point is 00:29:26 A lot of people call me a dystopian futurist. You know, I read tea leaves and I just, my reading always comes back negative. You know, I'm just like, the future's very bleak, friends. And they're like, you're fearmonger. I'm like, no, I'm just telling you what goes through my brain. Right. Yeah. But people who use the word fearmonger when it comes to the things you and I are involved
Starting point is 00:29:50 are just people who don't like what they're hearing. Yeah, they're scared. And they're like, you're scaring me. That's what they're saying. And I'm like, well, I'm sorry that's how I view things. And you know what? My wife can attest to it more than anybody because I talk to her most of the time. I'm right a lot. Like scary right. And I have no education. I'm not like a super homesteader or, you know, some kind of like super soldier guy. I'm just a dude that really takes in the environment around me in the moment and projects where that goes in the future. And I'm all. off and right, which is why I had the My Patriots supply affiliation months, almost a year before I talked about, because I just had a gut feeling. I was like, you know, and that's why like, I've been with you guys for a little while already. And I reached out to, I was like,
Starting point is 00:30:46 listen, man, I think it's time for me to start talking about this. I got to get you on the show. So the threat is very real right now. It's more real than it. I would, I would venture to say it's more real now than it was during the Cuban missile crisis. And we now know from history that we were five minutes away. Yeah. You know, the Russian submarine that had the order to launch. And it was that one guy who said, no, we're not doing it that literally saved the world. Like, we were on the precipice.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And now, the thing people have to realize about a direct EMP weapon, like an actual weaponized EMP is that it's what's called a bloodless weapon. It goes off in space. Nobody dies, right? and a nation can very easily absolve themselves and wash their hands and say all we were doing was preventing you from attacking us by taking your electrical grid down. But people don't realize that that bloodless weapon for that first minute, within a year, 98% of the people in that country will die.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Yes. Period. End of story. Because nobody understands what it means to live in a world without water sanitation and people to haul your trash away. And those are the two things everyone takes advantage of right now. and nobody thinks about in the future. What happens when the trash truck stop running?
Starting point is 00:31:59 We as Americans are a consumer culture, and we waste a lot of stuff. So what are you going to do when no one's taken that away from you every week? And it's piling up and piling up. And there's food scraps, dirty diapers and whatever, you know, feminine products, biological material on your curb and it's mounding up. You're going to burn it? We tried that in Iraq.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It didn't work out too well for the people sitting around it. You know, we did that in Vietnam, didn't work out for them either. What are you going to do? So it's a very real threat with very, very real consequences. And most people who even know what an EMP has, haven't actually war gained through exactly what happens when the water stops running.
Starting point is 00:32:36 You know, I recently read a book one second after. And it really got my gears turning. A good friend of mine, Andy, turned me on to it. He runs a local gun range to me here, the Knoxville area called Better Tactics. and him and I had dinner. And we were talking about gun stuff and just, you know, casual talk. And we kind of got on this a little bit.
Starting point is 00:32:59 And he brought up the book and it really spiked my interest. So I bought the book. I got it. And it was like an inch and a half thick. So then I went and bought the audio book and started listening to it. Because I was like, I actually want to know what's in this book. So I better just listen to it before I started attempting a year-long read. But after listening to the book and also the book setting,
Starting point is 00:33:22 is in western North Carolina into Tennessee, East Tennessee, which is where I'm at. So, like, it was one of those things where it kind of hit me because, like, in the book, it said the character said something about how, you know, these warring factions will test each other, but if they ever wanted like an easy victory, they would go over the mountains at East Tennessee. I'm just like, I don't think I'm an easy victory. Am I? Am I an easy victory? It makes you think. It definitely got me thinking because I know how the book came together. the book actually came together because I forget the author's name now. But he spent tons of time researching what happens if an EMP hits this country. And he took like 8,000 pages of research to
Starting point is 00:34:06 Newt Gingrich. And Newt was like, hey, this is really, really important information, but you got to make it consumable for people to actually take in. So he wrote it out in a story. So everything that's in this book, this novel is something that is based off reality, based off of this guy's absolute research. And when you know that and you read the book, you're like, oh, crap, you know, because like, you're right, we're not ready. Like, I'm not ready for, like, I just got to Tennessee. I'm just, like, I just came here from Philadelphia. I'm not ready for this. Like, I'm trying to get ready. Like, like, if you're telling me that, like, what do you do when the trash truck stops? You were saying that? I was thinking of myself,
Starting point is 00:34:48 what do I do? Like, I was thinking to myself, okay, so composting, and then you're like, the feminine product, so they burn it and you're like, can't burn it. I'm like, why? Like, I don't know. I just thought I could burn everything, you know, but what happened in Iraq? Not that in Iraq, too. It didn't turn out well. What happened? I don't, I never heard that story. The burn pits. There's a whole burn pit registry now. I actually am on the burn pit registry from my time in Iraq. The army and its illustrious wisdom was taking everything and burning it. And they thought that because these burn pits were a quarter mile, half a mile away from these tactical bases, that it wouldn't hurt anybody like I did in Vietnam. Well, they weren't considering this is the desert.
Starting point is 00:35:26 There's wind, and that wind's going to push everything. And so they were throwing everything from human excrement from the port of shitters to computers, which are heavy metals like tungsten and platinum and all that sort of stuff. All that stuff's getting up in the air and you're breathing it. I have heavy metals in my lung that will never go away, ever. And it can't go. Mucous can't form around it. You can't cough it out. It's there forever.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And I now have a very real chance of contracting some form of cancer from that when I'm older. How does that make you feel? Geez. I'm not the flag-waving patriot that I was then. I'm a much different type of patriot now. Yeah. You and I have had those conversations. And those conversations are not for this show.
Starting point is 00:36:09 That's for sure. No. Yep. A different time. Definitely. Definitely. No, it's one of those things where we are so conditioned to comfort and we're so conditioned to access to anything we want. I mean, shoot, like we live in a world where you can order something.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Not even, like, when I was growing up, it was you got a catalog, you're looking through the catalog, you then mail a check or a money order with your order to the place. and then, you know, two, three weeks later, they get it. And then they finally start going through the process of mailing. I mean, you forget you bought something and two months later, you got it, you know? Right. And now it's like we go on Amazon and anything we want we can have within a day or two. And it's like when all that stops, because guys, like Amazon stops.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Everything stops. And I think we got a little taste of that just within the last week when everybody's talking about the diesel shortage. Like, what happens when we run out of diesel? The truck stop. What happened when the truck stops? Nothing happens. Nothing. And so... Trucks. Trains, all of it. Everything. It got, I think it got people really thinking, like, this isn't good. You know, this isn't good at all. Sure. Sure. And it's why you're seeing that resurgence and the whole preparedness mindset. You know, back years and years ago, the word prepper started,
Starting point is 00:37:40 right? And everybody was like, beans, rice, and AR-15s. That's all anyone thought about. And no one really war-games passed that to what else you might need. And then from about 2000 and,
Starting point is 00:37:50 what, 2016 to 2020, that particular four-year period, people stopped caring in a lot of places. Everybody felt comfortable again because, you know, new change of power, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:04 new political paradigm. and everyone got real comfortable again. And then, four years later, when we saw what happened, all of a sudden that panic hit again. But this time, the panic seems to be a lot different than it was then. It's more palatable to people because they've watched what happens when they go to the grocery store and the chicken isn't there for three weeks because of a shipping crisis or because another food processing plant.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Baby formula. Burned down in some random place, right? So, I mean, there's a lot of people now starting to ask quite, Diabetics are asking, what about me? What happens when there's no refrigeration and I can't get insulin? I've got 30 days. Other people on psychosemitics, people who are on drugs for depression and anxiety and all these mental disorders that have become so prolific today, what happens when that stops
Starting point is 00:38:52 coming in? What happens if the cell doors at the prison all of a sudden all open because the lights went out from an EMP and nothing's working? There's a lot of questions to ask. For sure. For sure. If the prisoners were, I forget where I heard this recently, somebody was talking about this, if the prisoners were smart, they would get all the guns, they would send a few, they would organize, send a few out to get supplies and use the jail as their own home and fortress, free home and fortress. Nobody's penetrating it. Nobody's penetrating it. No one's getting in there. All they've got to do is figure out of control the Sally port so the gates can open and close. They're golden. I mean, dude, talk about a dangerous gang. That's the day thing. Right. It's really, this is the kind of stuff that I think a lot of people, like, how far can your imagination go on these kind of things? Because that's how bad this could get. sure and it's going to always be worse than you can imagine way way worse because you can't imagine everything like they forget what it was recently something happened and I looked at my wife and I was like
Starting point is 00:39:54 what was it dang and I forget or maybe I saw it somewhere I can't remember but I looked at it I was like I'm extremely disappointed myself that my imagination didn't take me to this point like I was because like I really like when I'm driving around and stuff like my mind often just like I'm like okay let's go down my dystopian hole and let's see how bad this goes and I'd never I forget what it was but I had never imagined that scenario. But, I mean, if you think about, like, you mentioned about if an EMP attack happens, right? Within the year, 98% of the population is dead. Chances are, I'm dead.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Like, chances are I'm dead. Yeah. In that time frame. But what's that process look like, right? So for me personally, if it was just me, I would be able to accept that a lot more. The problem is, I got a full. year old and a two-year-old. And who dies first, me or them? Both is an equally terrifying scenario. My kids shouldn't have to watch me die. So do I watch them die? I don't know if I can
Starting point is 00:40:58 handle that. You know what I mean? And these are real situations that most people are going to have to go through if an EMP attack happens. And those are the situations that are going to drive them mentally into a place they're not accustomed to. This isn't 1304 in France, right? This isn't the bulk of the, you know, at the height of the bubonic plague or the dark ages or, you know, the battles, you know, the Chinese dynasties with just constant bloodshed. I mean, we've been so comfortable for so long. We are not going to have, you could be the best prepper in the world and have your basement stacked floor to ceiling with everything you need for two years. But are you going to be mentally ready to deal with what you see? Are you going to be mentally ready to deal with the smell of,
Starting point is 00:41:44 the world after an EMP? Are you going to be physically prepared to see bodies? Because if people are dying in that scenario, it's not just going to be trashed out on the curb. There's going to be a lot of stuff happening that you're not going to be mentally prepared for. And like I said, there's already a lot of people in this country on drugs for anxiety and depression and God knows what else. And you compound that without being medicated. And then you stack the stress of world on top of them. It's something that you can, I mean, if you, if you can alleviate some of that by spending $350 on a box that you throw on the side of your breaker panel and at least you can keep your lights on, at least for a while, you know, especially if you have a, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:30 a generator or solar system or something, you can at least keep a refrigerator in where you have some food. You know, you can at least keep your freezer, you know, full of meat and other things. you can at least maybe keep a medical device that you need on just a little bit longer while you figure things out. But I mean, it's all preparatory. And it's like with the car situation, that's a big fear of mine. You know, my office is about 25 minutes from my house. My son goes to school about 10 minutes away from my office. my son's school was about 30 minutes, 35 minutes from the house.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And when's the last time you walked that kind of a distance ever? Right. And you have that kind of distance. What can happen in that period of time when I'm not around my wife and my daughter who were at the house? Because I got to go and get my son from school. Say it happens on a Wednesday at 10 o'clock in the morning. I got to go to the school.
Starting point is 00:43:35 No communication, my mind. you. I can't find out if my wife's okay. And I got to go in the opposite direction of the house to get my son from school, not knowing what is going on around me, and then to get back to the house. And immediately after the attack, I believe it's not going to be absolute chaos. But I do believe within the first 24 to 48 hours, once the reality sets in as to what we're actually dealing with here for the mass amount of people, that's when chaos is going to start because people are going to freaking lose their minds. Well, consider this.
Starting point is 00:44:05 You hit on a point there that I think needs to be expounded on. You mentioned how it's not going to be instant chaos. No one's going to know what happened for the first four hours, right? Communications are going to be down, but most schools are part of the local county emergency management plan. They're triage centers. They're government buildings. They're fortresses anymore with magnaloc doors.
Starting point is 00:44:27 You can't just walk into a public school anymore. Yeah, right. If your car's not working, and it takes you three days to walk, well, 30 minutes is what, about 25 miles, right? The average person in shape can do 10, maybe 15 miles if they're just going. How many days is it going to take you to get to that school? It's 25, 30 miles away from where you're at now on foot. You don't know if it's probably going to happen in the winter. You're not going to be the only person on that road.
Starting point is 00:44:59 by the time you get to that school, it could be so locked down with National Guard and police. They might not even let you in. Right. How are you going to get your kid through a wall of government? Because that school happens to be
Starting point is 00:45:13 part of the local emergency management triage plan. And do I want to get my family on the other side of that wall of government to begin with? Like, in all honesty, I think I'd rather go to North Carolina hang out with the bonds, you know? Right.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Like, I know where they're at. And I know they're going to be a lot more friendly to me. Sure. You can spend 300, with your code, you can sell that vehicle device sells for $339. So for $339, which is less than a quarter of your annual car insurance payment for the year, why not put the peace of mind on your car that you can now get to that school in 25, maybe an hour, maybe two, because if traffic stalls and you're the only running vehicle, you may have to go into the shoulder. you don't know, but you have a much better chance of getting to that school a lot quicker
Starting point is 00:46:01 to pick your kid up and you won't have to wait days. Yeah, no, and that's the vehicle aspect of this is I remember what caught my eye about it because I think about this stuff all the time. I get anxiety every time I'm separate from my family. Like, I can't tell you how much anxiety I had when I started dropping my son off at preschool every morning. He had never been apart from us like that ever. Like I was always the one taking care of my son. My wife was always the one. taking care of them. Now I have my son at a school. I'm at my office, which I had never done what I do now for living outside the house, and my wife and daughter at the house. And so the anxiety that I had, and then I was probably just talking to William about this stuff, just venting.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And he's like, here, let me tell you about this. And I was just like, that is really appealing. Because long term, we mentioned about the 98 dead in the year, long term, it doesn't matter if you EMP shield on your house or car or not, your life is going to suck and it's going to be very hard. But if you can make it in the first 24, 48 hours a little bit easier to, you'll be light years ahead of a lot of people, especially if you have a running car, especially if you have a running car. And probably the biggest complaint we hear, the biggest nays say against the vehicle model is, well, if you have the only running car on the road, won't you be a target? and my first answer to that is, well, what kind of a defeatist attitude do you have where no matter
Starting point is 00:47:27 what solutions are provided to you, you find a reason not to take them? Yeah. Be proactive, man. I'd rather be a target than be victim to the circumstances around me and just being the same boat as everybody else. Like, I don't want to suffer just like everybody else. I'd rather be proactive and try. And, you know, that's why I have a lot of guns, you know?
Starting point is 00:47:47 So like that's just the reality of the situation when the world's crashing down around you and this kind of situation happens and stuff. You like, listen, I got guns on me all the time as it is. You better believe I had the whole thing out now. Like the safe at home is empty. Like if you look at me, you're going to say, why is your clothing so bumpy? It's all the guns underneath my coat, bro. I have firearm hives. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I mean, like, I'm going to look like a guy dealing watches on the streets of New York City, you know, with all the stuff I have underneath my coats. So, right. It's just, it's one of those things, man, that I just, I, for years have thought about, for years I've taken serious. And then between learning about you guys and then reading that book, it really kind of put me over the edge. And just the reality of the situation we live in right now, whether it doesn't matter what your politics are, what you think, who's right, who's wrong. is Putin bad? Is Putin good? What about Ukraine? All that stuff is out the window. The reality of the situation is you can't deny there is portrayed tension between two world powers that both have had nuclear threats hurled at each other for decades within my lifetime. I remember when I was
Starting point is 00:49:05 a child. My mom isn't the greatest at sugar-coding things. And so I remember living in Allentown, Pennsylvania in an apartment complex. I was I was, at the very most five years old when I asked this, because I remember we moved from there at five. And I remember looking out the window and they were probably like had the news on or something. We were probably talking about the Cold War. And I said to my mom, not knowing anything other than war, death, guns, people dying, killing people, right? And I said to my mom, I'm like, mom, are we at war? And she's like, yep.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I'm just like, oh, you know, but like that was the reality of the situation back then. And, you know, those tensions are back. And we don't know what it's going to come of it. And, you know, we all hope for the best. And I hope that it's all propaganda and that there really is. Like, I hope Putin's like, wait, what? You guys have an issue with what? I just hope that it's like propaganda on us, right?
Starting point is 00:50:02 And they're just like, they're trying to keep us all boxed into America and our own little scared shells. But if this is all real and there is real tensions and stuff, I want to be really prepared as much as I can. So outside of the food, outside of, like, I've noticed a trend over my time doing the show. A lot of my sponsors that I use are preparing yourself, whether it's mentally with therapy and things like that to, you know, the food supply, now EMP, but also I have like simply safe as a sponsor preparing for the home burglary kind of things, keeping yourself safe. I'm really big on that. And I really think that this EMP.
Starting point is 00:50:43 shield is something that, one, I need to have on my vehicles. And I'm actually embarrassed to say that on recording. I haven't gotten it on my vehicles yet. But I'm going to be getting on my vehicles. I'll probably put the order in today. And I highly recommend that people seriously consider it. Because once it happens, it's too late. And most people listen to me right now, listen on their commutes to work. They listen to me while they're at work. Just stop right now and just think about it. Just think right now. The moment you're listening to me right now, everything stops. You don't hear me. You're looking at your phone. The phone's off. The car's dead. Lights are out. And you're starting to think, oh, this is what Merkel was talking about. And my car is dead. And I'm at work or I'm in Philadelphia
Starting point is 00:51:39 you had traffic stuck on the school school and I got a city of two and a half million people all stuck in the same spot as me. How am I going to get to my child school? How am I going to get my kids home? Where's my spouse? My husband drives truck. My wife drives truck for a living. I have no idea where they're at right now. These are all real things, you know? And so I think it's very important for people to just maybe sometimes pause and think about these things. Obviously, this isn't the typical paranormal show that we're doing right now and stuff, but it's something that I've been talking about on the show in a sense for a long time. And I wanted to make sure people had an opportunity to hear about this from somebody that knows more than I do about it and to
Starting point is 00:52:22 maybe, if nothing else, take up a lot of their time to force them to think about this kind of stuff. I don't think a lot of people think about it. Maybe they do nowadays. I don't know. Probably just some degree. But I think most people think nuke, nuke, nuke. And they think, you know, big bombs going off on cities and things of that, but a lot of people don't realize that EMPs have become weaponized, that there are satellites in space right now. China just admitted that they have weaponized their satellites, which prompted the United States to say, oh, yeah, so did we,
Starting point is 00:52:53 all in violation of every space treaty ever written. We know North Korea has two EMP-equipped satellites right now that circumnavigate the globe and fly over the United States twice a day. Iran just made a huge showing of launching a new rocket into space with a satellite, and they were very tight-lipped about what was on it. Why do you think, okay, not to get political, but the last president was probably one of the most contentious characters in American history as far as the level of disagreement over him. But what was the one thing that both houses of Congress and him agreed on that he got passed at almost a unanimous race? Space Force. Space Force.
Starting point is 00:53:33 and everybody made fun of it. Everyone wanted to poke at it. There's a great show on Netflix that pokes fun at it, and it's absolutely hilarious. But why do you think it is that in the modern age where global powers are converging in Europe and where global powers are converging in the South China Sea and where global powers are converging in Venezuela
Starting point is 00:53:56 right now, did all of a sudden space force magically become the one thing everybody seemed to agree on? The threat is very real. And people, and then people at high levels know it. Yes. And I think to give a paranormal angle swing to this whole thing, I think that the whole disclosure stuff is being highly, let's put this way, the timing of the disclosure stuff that you're seeing coming out of the government
Starting point is 00:54:27 awkwardly coincides with space force existing. And I think that that should be a very big sign. I'll tell people right now, Merkel Media is going to be coming out with a docu-series following the new film that we're coming out with. And it's because we went to Utah to film at Skinwalker Ranch and to, yeah, so we went out there and we wanted to get the native perspective. we wanted to get the perspective of people that live around Skinwalker Ranch because we didn't believe that it was just Skinwalker Ranch and we were right. And we have a great film coming out portraying that. But also in that process, Christian discovered a whole new universe of information portraying this idea that we have technology that on the surface looks very paranormal.
Starting point is 00:55:30 And there's a reason why, let's just put this way, Skinwalker Ranch is, is, there's, there's a lot more to it than just a paranormal thing. And the space force, the, the things that people are seeing in the skies and they're saying, you know, the government's like, yeah, we don't know what these are, but we're acknowledging they're there. Bull, bull. Right. They know exactly what they are because they created them. And where they were able to get that technology and understanding we could talk about and stuff. But the reality is I 100% believe that this whole disclosure thing is a big, big sigh-up for the government to accomplish many goals without actually saying what they're doing. They can tell the public-
Starting point is 00:56:21 You're talking about Operation Bluebeam. I'm talking about a lot of operations right now. Like, like, it's really, because there's, there's an aspect of them being able to say to other governments, look what we have without actually saying, look what we have, you know. Do you see the article that came out two days ago where, you know, our Department of Defense, the Department of Navy are the ones putting these videos out saying this stuff's real, right? Well, just like two days ago, there was an article that came out saying Department of Defense claims that UFOs are real and that they're Chinese drones. Where'd that narrative come from all of a sudden? Come on, man. It's, yeah, it's, it's literally, the propaganda is so thick.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And I think so many people, like, what they did, what they did really good was they, they were patient and they did things strategically. For the first thing they did was condition an entire culture, population of people to ultimately not think for themselves and to want somebody to tell them what the answer is. And once you got a bunch of lazy people who don't think and just want to be told what the answer is, you can tell them anything. And so you can say one thing today and then tomorrow say the exact opposite. And they're absolutely fine with that because all they care about is having the answer. And so that's the world we live in right now. And that trickles into so many other things. And this whole disclosure thing is just one of those avenues. They are totally
Starting point is 00:57:47 they're totally capitalizing on the situation and they've proven it because 20 years ago, the government could never have come out and said nearly the amount of the things that they say now. It's not because of anything other than the people changed. They changed the minds of the people so that the people were ready for them to enter
Starting point is 00:58:12 into this whole new level of propaganda. So now what they're doing is they're marrying the paranormal and this far-off idea, these aliens and this whole concept that was considered crazy Loonytown for forever. And now they're bringing it into the mainstream. They're saying, oh, we need to really consider this because of this, that, and the other.
Starting point is 00:58:31 And the whole reason why they're doing it is they're using the paranormal as a blanket to their own operations. And we're going to approve it. Tune in to our new docu-series. But it's true. It is true. I think most people that listen to me understand I come from these kind of perspectives.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Like, I'm not saying aliens don't exist. I'm not saying that stuff. I definitely think that people are experiencing things, but I also do think people are experiencing things that are brought on by their own government. And if they ever, ever had to admit that, that's beyond level of MK Ultra. Imagine if there is not maybe all, because I do believe they had to learn it from somewhere, but imagine if there is a percentage of alien abductions that aren't alien abductions, rather your own government and military performing a test and operation on you, where they're implanting memories on you that you think you were abducted, but in all actuality,
Starting point is 00:59:28 you were abused by your own government and giving you false memories. So you don't remember what actually happened to you. Like, oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Don't come on, Tony me. This is the world we live in. The truth is often stranger than fiction. The truth is often stranger than fiction. I've said this before in the show. I'll always reference it because it just left me so, like all my suspicions confirmed moment.
Starting point is 00:59:52 I was driving truck. I was doing a delivery to a casket place. They made caskets. And I back up my truck to this building and this old man comes out. And I'm talking with him. Turns out he's the owner. And we got in a conversation. This is shortly after I started a podcast, probably 2017. And I'm picking his brain about things. And he told me that he was an engineer for the military back in the 60s. And he said the technology that we have today, like the night visions and stuff that we have access to, he said, I was working on that back in the 60s. He's like, we've had that stuff for such a long time. The things that work you're just seeing now, we've had for a long time. And so if you take that concept, that understanding, if you believe the old man that runs a
Starting point is 01:00:34 casket place. Like, if you take that concept, now we're in 20, what the years is, 2022. Like, imagine the technology that they have right now that we won't know as a common understanding for another 50 years. It's just, you're not wrong. I know I'm not wrong. That's why I'm saying it. You're not wrong.
Starting point is 01:00:57 But anyways, listen, man, I appreciate you coming on. I know kind of bounce around and stuff. It wasn't your conventional show to the. audience I'm talking to right now. But I was able to spin the paranormal a little bit in the end there. So it's just going to take it. Well done. But anyways, we got Bobby here from EMP Shield. I appreciate you, man. If people are interested, they can go to EMPShield.com. That's EMP shield.com. Get your stuff. Put it in the shopping cart on checkout. Just type in the code or the coupon, Tony, T-O-N-Y. And you'll get $50 off your order. And so I would highly suggest you guys doing that.
Starting point is 01:01:34 the links and the information will be in the description of this episode. And moving forward in future descriptions of podcast episodes, it'll be there listed or any sponsors just like everything else. Bobby, man, I appreciate you. Absolutely, man. Thanks for having me on. It was a blast. Absolutely. But before we get out of here, I actually would like to have you talk about something completely different because we were talking about it in the beginning before we start recording. And I have it on my notes here. The first thing I put down, social media app, and I totally forgot to talk about it. And this stems from, so EMP,
Starting point is 01:02:07 Shio, the social media app, like, this all stems from a community of people that you're, you are all part of working together, that the whole gist is to live free, independent, away from people who control what, what you say, what you do, how much you can purchase of something like the idea of even going to a grocery store, like the idea of living free. And so you were talking to me about, you guys are launching a new social media platform.
Starting point is 01:02:35 And I guess it's in the early stages right now. But if you could talk about it, because I remember when you mentioned it to me, I was like, wait a second, that sounds really familiar. I had already signed up for an account with them with you guys because William told me about it. So William, William is a, you guys should hire him as a spokesperson because he could talk about all your stuff for days. Yeah, we're good friends.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Yeah, it's called freesteading.com. Right now, it's a website you can go to www. www. freesteading.com. It's the word free and then steadying like the end of home studying. We are in the process of building the apps for both Android and Apple products. And essentially it's a free speech platform. It is a counter to the current paradigm of
Starting point is 01:03:17 bookface, instabam, TikTok, and Twitter-pated. It's a place where you don't have to worry about whether you're talking about what happens in China or Ukraine or Russia or the United States. and it's a place for people to get together and learn to be a little freer today than they were yesterday. And you're going to find all kinds of stuff on there. Like, for example, I'm on there as a community leader. You're going to find, you talk about William.
Starting point is 01:03:41 You're going to find his dad's channel, Perma Pastures. You're going to find them on there as a community leader. You're going to find Danny and Wanda from Deep South Homestead, pinball preparedness, David the Good. I mean, we have so many YouTube channels we've partnered with and other folks that we've partnered with. And the cool thing about it is at some point, you're going to have direct access to these content creators to be able to ask them questions about how they do the things they do. And you're going to be able to get answers from them. And it's going to be a really cool thing. It already is a cool thing.
Starting point is 01:04:07 We've got, you know, thousands of people have already signed up for it, even though it's still being, it's still web-based. But once we hit that app store, it's going to be available for everybody and you're going to be able to talk homesteading, preparedness, all of it. Hell, you can come on there and talk about Bigfoot UFOs if you want to. and there will be people there to talk to you. Oh, yeah, I will. I might be the guy leading the charge on that one. I'm looking at the website right now, and this is not meant to sound insulting,
Starting point is 01:04:36 even though you might take it this way. People that go to freesteading.com and they make an account, they log in. If you know how to navigate Facebook, you'll know how to navigate this site. Yeah, we built it that way on purpose. We wanted it to have an era of familiarity to it where you weren't just coming in, because let's face it,
Starting point is 01:04:55 there's a good chunk of the population who are my age. I'm 43 years old, and I've had to teach myself all of this. This isn't push-buttoned things happen. I mean, this is modern technology. So we tried to make it where it would appeal to folks at any variance of age, but also be simple enough for everyone to figure out how to use.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Yeah, it's so, it's a clean-looking website. And right now, yeah, it's a website, but the apps are coming. And it's just going to be a great landing, spot for community. And this isn't hokey. Like, if I was making it, it would be hokey. Like, they would not look this good. So I highly encourage people to check it out. Freesteading.com and get involved in that community as well. Now, that said, I'd appreciate you guys all checking out EMPShield.com. And when you're checking out, use the coupon Tony. It's easy to remember.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Coupon, the code is Tony. And go ahead and check that out and make sure you. you guys are going to be good in case you're away from the house. You can get back to the house and you know the house is still working. Hopefully, the electric that's supposed to go to your house is still coming. But either way, my biggest thing is making sure you can get home and get to your family and stuff. I mean, even if you think about like, will you be able to get gas? Probably not. So you might want to start making sure that you have a half a tank.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Once you hit a half a tank, fill it back up kind of thing. And just make sure that, you know, in the initial. strike. You can be mobile and get to the ones you love, develop that game plan. Hopefully you already have a game plan, but make sure that you can at least get a jump start on things. Because when say an EMP attack happens, forget lightning stuff, say there's actually nefariousness behind it. At the end of the day, you will be light years ahead of so many people if you just have a running vehicle. And so definitely take a serious friends.
