Hi, your AI assistant here. We've got a bit of a good news, bad news situation. Seems a podcast you're about to listen to has been flagged. It's been flagged for disinformation and misinformation. So you won't be able to enjoy it today. Be careful out there. Remember, I'm your friend. Oh, PBM family, the data centers.

are coming for your water. They're coming for your water and your power and your oil and your blood. Happy Friday, everybody. What's up? It is a beautiful Friday. Right off the bat, we got some things. All right, the active shooter. How to survive a mass shooting. How to survive or survive.

I'm sorry, survive a mass shooting. You should think I would know these things, considering I'm the author. Survive a mass shooting is free on Amazon. I'll link to it in the... the show notes. Survive a mass shooting. Free between now and Sunday.

I promised you if you signed up for the book giveaway and didn't win, I'd still give a book away for free. Okay? And this one I've been wanting to get out to everybody because I wrote it at sort of my peak training of the active shooter stuff where I was working as the safety manager. I was giving these trainings like on a monthly basis. Wrote the book.

you know, log the information away in my head and then kind of forgot about it to be on. I didn't have the audience to really promote it back in those days. I had a small I Am Liberty Show audience. But now, you know, the fact that we're still at war with a radical Islamic nation, and we have countless radical Islamists in the country who tend to really love a good active shooting. You know what I mean? They like to take part in a good act of shooting on a beach. You know, at a school, in a, you know, shopping center, you name it, man.

They love themselves a good act of shooting. I thought it would be a good time we release it and get, you know, get them juices flowing again. Even if in the back of your head you're thinking like run, hide fight, you're thinking about your own plan. This is like a 41-page brief. You know what I mean? That just sharpens you up. Sharpenes you up, adds a little human element to it. There's a little story to it.

survive a mass shooting by yours truly available now let's also talk about today's sponsor citizen food prep dot com citizen food prep dot com is not your average sponsor here at pbn okay this is a guy who created a thing that's 100% free on a in your you know your internet explorer it's not an app you don't have to download anything you don't have to sign up you can go to it in private if you're that nervous about it, like in a private tab, right?

If you go there, then let me know what you think about it. Because this guy's sponsorship money was not given to us so that we could promote something that he's going to make money off of. He really wanted to spread the word about what he created and then he wanted to find out what people think about it.

So let me know what you think about citizenfood prep.com. Thank you, everyone. Okay. No Friday late night tonight. I'm on the fence about an omnibus over the weekend. I may do something in the war world. I may do something in the gardening world. We could do a really good one.

Gardening Part 2, something like that. Because it is that time of year, man. I don't know about you, but I got things of sprouting all over. and actually I wanted to check these pots after that big rain and see if we got some some green sprouted I still have not planted the kale yet I got to get on the kale oh yeah baby yeah the green peas are sprouting they'll be climbing before long PBM family this is that time you know what I mean I don't know it's just every every day what's the news every day war AI farms

food, poison, tick, sweat. Every... There's some things you can cross off your list, man, if you just get it together. But, yeah, these freaking turnips are coming up real good. I'm gonna have to thin them already. I can't wait to get those spicy turnip green, sauteed up. You know what I like to do with them?

I like to do my favorite, my favorite little dish, my spaghetti with fresh garlic and... red chili flake and good olive oil. That's it. But what I like to do is I like to fry up the garlic and the chili flake together. And then add those washed turnip greens, man, those peppery turnip greens. Toss all that before adding the pizza, I mean the pasta in. And you got something, man.

You got something special. Yeah, that's a beauty. That is a beauty. Not too thrilled about this strawberry patch of mine. I don't think it's... I think it's dying off on me. I do. I think I stuck it in an area.

Got too much shade or something. Which is fine. We can go around two. Or we can do something else in here. What should we do? Maybe I'll put some kale in here, actually. Hmm. That's a thought.

That's a thought. Always changing, always adapting, right? Isn't that? If you've learned nothing else from me, I hope you've learned that. Right? You're never out. You're never done.

never beat. You're just changing. Wow, look at the pawpaw freaking flowers. They're everywhere. The death flower. The death bells of the pawpaw tree. They're this crazy little brown, weird, reddish brown flower, just the saddest and it hangs upside down. It's just the creepiest little flower. They're everywhere. It's going to be a good year. It won't be a good year on the pawpaws. We found some kiwi last year, so we're going to have them again. Anyhow, I don't want to go on and on and on, but like, you know, food, man. Food. Right? Grow it. Grow it, raise it. Whatever you can do. Pots. Beds. Go in the woods and throw some seeds in the damn woods somewhere and come back later. You know what I mean?

There are just things, you know, I see things. There are things in the news that are driving people mad. and there are some pretty basic preps that you can make and you won't even think about the things in the news. You won't even cross your mind, hardly. So, I got to talk about Iran, okay? I got to talk about Iran and Donald Trump talking shit, basically. You know, bullshit. Pardon the French, but, you know, I don't know about you,

but don't lie to me. You know what I'm saying? I don't know about you. And trust me, I ain't going the way of no kings. Don't worry about that. But I am a man first and a Trump supporter second, third, fourth, fifth. I don't even know where that's for it. I'm a man first.

Okay. Don't lie to me on the television set. Don't tell me the war is won 17 times. Don't tell me that Iran has no capability. And then I wake up and find out they shot a fighter jet, a U.S. fighter jet out of the sky. And they're still launching rockets at Israel and the UAE. You get what I'm saying? Like, I don't care what the guy's pulled off, what he's failed at, what he's messed up, what he's done right, what he's done wrong.

You know, being the president of the United States, you get a lot of leeway from me. You know what I mean? It takes a while, even if you're a Democrat robot like Biden, before I really go, okay, this is a total failure. I'm not saying that this is a total failure. What I'm saying is, stop lying to us. Stop lying to us Some kind of promo material About the military and about the war

You know what I mean? Just be real about it Just be real about it I don't know It's just personally bothering me It's personally bothering me You know what I mean You got a guy who comes up on the microphone

On a day-to-day basis And says the war is won The war is over We'll be out of there in no time Iran's completely destroyed decimated They got nothing to shoot The other day he said, what are they going to shoot at his BBs? No, Don, they're going to shoot rockets at you.

That's what they're shooting still. Drones, rockets, Russia's sending them drones. Like, this is... Tell the people what's going on. Tell the people what's going on. You know what I mean? I'm not a big fan of it. I don't like it.

Just tell me what's what. We didn't elect the guy to give us some fake news, right? We didn't elect Mr. Fake News to give us fake news. And that's what's bothering me about the president lately. The other thing that's bothering me about the war is this shift to civilian targets. You know what I'm saying? What are we doing? Why are we blowing bridges up?

Why are we talking about blowing water treatment plants up? What the hell are we doing? And this is my position. You know what I mean? It's you go in. Why go in and blow up a bunch of military targets and kill a bunch of military targets and kill a bunch of leadership and then say, okay, this is what we've come here to do. We wanted to decapitate the radical Islamic threat.

We wanted to demilitarize. We wanted to destroy their capability of air and sea. And, you know, decimate the military at large. That's a goal. I like that goal. I got no problem with that. You want to send the brave men and women of the United States military over to destroy the largest state sponsor of terror on the planet.

I don't have a problem with it at all. The moment you start bombing civilian stuff and blowing bridges up so people can't get to work and blowing up electricity plants and desalination plants, well, now you're dumb. Now you're dumb because what you should have done is blew all the things up that you wanted to blow up and leave. And say, if we get, we're going to know. You live next door to Mossad. We'll know. if you're building nuclear weapons or not, okay?

And if you are, we're going to come back and do much worse. And you leave, you know what I mean? Or you come in and you decimate the entire country. Or the entire, you know, the city, I guess, Tehran. Kill a bunch of people and leave. And say, you know, this is what it is. This is war. But the middle ground is what I hate.

You know, if you want to, a war for mass casualty and you believe that that's the best the best route that's kind of war in my head you know what i mean i mean america and israel are really the only places in the world that are ever held to account when it comes to like strategy and war like shoot your missiles and your bullets between the good people and only hit the bad people that's the they're the only two countries in the world that are held to that standard nobody cares what Ukraine does to Russia. Nobody cares what Russia does to Ukraine. You know what I mean? They're at war and it's just going to be what it is.

You can blow this shit out of Israel. It doesn't matter what country you are, right? Nobody's going to be like, you should be a little more strategic in your bombings. No, they just say that, you know, free Palestine. Keep bombing. Right? The Houthis shoot like 90 missiles up in the air and hope one of them hits. and they don't care where it hits. Nobody says anything. Israel makes it... Well, whatever.

You know the deal, right? You know the deal. My thing is, let's figure out what we're doing with war. Okay? Don't tell the American people you're doing one thing and then all of a sudden you're bombing civilian stuff. Because if you start bombing civilian stuff, then you're going to have civilians go over to the radical Islamic side

and they're going to say, you know what? You were right. You were right. You're brutal. You're terrible. But so are they. Drop a nuclear weapon on Iran and fly off. Adios.

Right? I'm saying, if that's your, uh, if that's your intended aim, if you don't care about civilians, if you don't care about civilian death, if you don't care about civilian infrastructure in the way of life after, then what are you wasting all this time and energy for? Why are we putting all these aircraft carriers out here doing all this stuff, right? We have the weapons capable of just hitting the reset button. But of course, that, that's not the intent, right? But now we're in this. So wrap it up, Don, get out of there. Wrap it up, get out, get the gas price back down. People got lives to live. We're tired of hearing about war, and we're tired of hearing about a war that we're winning while we're actually still fighting it, and no one's winning anything yet, right? We're tired of hearing about the whole entire military of Iran has been decimated, then every time you bring a headline up, every single morning you wake up, and what's Iran doing?

Oh, they're bombing people again. They're launching missiles and drones of people. That's strange. That doesn't sound like what I heard. That's the commander's war update for you, okay? That's where my mentality is with the war. Pretty easy to follow. Pretty straightforward.

You know what I mean? I don't know. I don't want to get into too much warfare strategy at the moment. We got enough to talk about today. Okay? Little update on the emergency comm situation. We were playing around with a few different ideas in the background. We really liked the Pock link as an alternate means of communication beyond your cell phone.

I already created the PBM. emmercom's group on pock link it's a private group that anybody who wants to join can join and we'll do an announcement on that soon uh we were talking about creating a cell group or a zelle group because it ties in with the redivis pock radio um and i thought it was a great plan it sounded really good but the folks at redivis if you're friends with them or you know them and you want to give them a bit of advice they don't get back to anybody so it's really hard to want to work with them. One of my other listeners that is a comms guy or wants to be or something along those lines, a guy who's really investing time and money into his own emergency comm said that

he's experienced the same thing with Redavis. They won't get back to him on anything. And he's not like me. He's not, you know, trying to wheel and deal. He's got problems that he wants to fix. So I'm not going to put you guys in a position with a company that you can't get a hold of as part of our comms deal. So if you want to get in on the Pock link, the Wi-Fi compatible Pock link, which I think is the best, I'll put a link in the show description down there for that also. That is where our emergency comms group will ping. We will ping monthly before our continuity meeting.

And that will be it. That will be our thing. And then we'll have the element group as sort of a backup to the backup, right? so we got the element thing so even if you don't want to buy a pock link you could still we could still ping the the emergency comms group in element if you're unfamiliar with element just let me know i'll get you in there um it's our basically our private chat you know it's an invite only chat

fundamentally keeps the riff raff out you know what i mean but if you're interested in that we can make that happen for you um and that's free just for being a member oh give this is all you You got to be a member to be part of the comms group. I'm not letting everybody willy-nilly into the emergency comms group because that could go bad real fast. You get it.

But go to PBMFamily.com. You can become a member very easily over there. It's not expensive. It's well worth the money for all the perks that you get, you know. But really the annual price of $60 to become a member at PBN Family is worth the mesh-tastic course that you're going to take that's sitting right top front and center when you go to. the website. There's a free mesh-tastic

or a mesh-tastic course there. It's free to members. You take that thing. It's an hour-long course. It'll tell you everything you need to do to be communicating off-grid if you want to do that. And you can add that to your emergency comms situation. Right now you have

a primary alternate contingency. You might even have an emergency in there. For your pace plan for communications. You're welcome. Don't thank me. Thank Chin, by the way. Don't thank Chin, the wizard of comms the prepper broadcasting network i'm just a vessel through which i holler his great ideas out at you okay that's all that is um so that's sort of the emergency comms front we're doing our best to work on that thing and get that all squared away get it up and running so that uh you know we just get

in the i just want to be in the swing of it i just want to be in the swing of a monthly ping and a monthly message hey it's uh james the intrepid commander checking in on the emeritus Emergency Coms Radio. Hey, it's James the Eptrepic Commander checking in the emergency comms room. That's it. You know? And then if things get crazy, you know, your cell phone ain't working. Whatever the situation is, you can check your Pocklink radio. Maybe that's working. If that's not working, maybe you can get some kind of Wi-Fi going on your computer at home and get in it or your phone and get into Element. See what's going on that way, right? Maybe you develop a mesh. Tastic network and you can use that because you're a PBN member and you took the meshtastic course. There are more and more options for emergency communications all the time.

It's not like it used to be. It's not like, dude, you've got to get a ham radio or else you're screwed, right? It's a very different world out there now. And we're trying to give you access. We're trying to make it accessible. You know what I mean? And easy. Because that's the key for me.

I'm not emergency comms guy. I don't care about frequencies and sneak. frequencies and frequencies. You know what I mean? I don't want to learn it. Which is why chin is the blessing that he is. You know, tell me the easy way to do it. Bing, bong. This is why the Pocklink radio is the one I'm going with. Because you push your button and talk into it. You know what I mean? Once you set it up, you push your button in and you talk to it. That's what I want for you. Easy. Right? You got a life to live. Right? You got all kinds of challenges. I don't want you sitting around studying a booklet

to figure out how to turn the radio on and tune it into then figure out and what do I got to do? If you want to do that, you've got all the free time in the world to take that hobby up. But I'm giving you the emergency comms from my perspective as the Intrepid Commander

and that is, can we just get a network set up that's easy, accessible through a number of means and test it monthly? Done. You know what I mean? that's my take so yeah PBM family

the day is beautiful I know it looks like the world's falling apart and AI is taking over and the United States is going to you know be at war with Russia Iran China before you know it if I were you I'd take the weekend off yeah

think about this way you could take the weekend off news and just check PBN and the titles of the PBN shows, you don't even have to listen, but the titles will tell you what's what, right? You know if something big happens, Dave Jones or myself is going to hop on on the weekend

and go, oh my God, PBM family, you won't believe what happened in the Middle East, right? You won't believe what happened. It's not like we're going to not post. But you could take the weekend off. You can go buy some dirt. You can go buy some seeds. You can go look at your Facebook marketplace

or your Craigslist free or your buy nothing forum and find old planners that somebody's given out for free, or you can drill some holes in all your five-gallon buckets and put them to work for you as container gardens. You could do a lot. Do you know what I'm saying? You can. You could do a lot.

There's a lot you could do this weekend that will make you feel a lot better about whatever it is I have to say next weekend, or next week. You know, whatever it is I have to report, Dave Jones has to report, all the great hosts Patriot Power Hour guys, amazing show last night, by the way. Whatever that news is that is reported,

you're going to feel a whole hell of a lot better about it if you do some prepping this weekend, right? I got some amazing stuff to announce next week. Maybe this weekend, I don't know. It's so much tough for you guys to keep up with. I feel so bad for you. You know what I mean? I feel like I got a belt-fed light machine gun of information that I just keep...

You know, it's like glowing orange. And it just, I can't get my finger off the trigger. I just can't take it off. But suffice it to say, oh, you know what is happening? I see it. The termites are out. Oh, boy, it's that time of year, huh? I wonder where they're coming from.

I never like it. I always have some wood or some tree somewhere that is spitting out termites. I don't have a whole lot of old wood around the property. This might be from the woods themselves. But anyway, one just landed on me. I don't know if you've ever seen that in action. It's terrifying as a homeowner. I've had like clouds of termites flying around my house

trying to find their way in to eat the whole thing down to the bare bones. It's terrifying. You should come out and just dump gasoline all over them. Sorry, guys. A little too close for comfort. But, yeah, try to enjoy your weekend, man. Try to get prepared. Have some fun.

You know what I mean? Got some great shows today, man. It is good Friday. You know, don't forget about that. Like, enjoy Easter, man. Christ is rising Sunday. You know what I mean? The reason for your salvation.

It's all happening, right? It's putting on the... No, no, no, no. What is it? What is today? I was just reading it. First Peter 5 through 8. 1st Peter 5, 7, and 8.

From the routine, from the April relentless routine today. Okay, check that out. It's not put on the full armor of God. That was what I posted. That's the... show for a faithful Friday. Usually we do foil Friday. We do some conspiracy, but I found

one from Carl B. from the archives where he is, uh, he's doing well, the show is titled put on the full armor of God and I thought to myself that man. What's better for Easter weekend than that? So we have a faithful Friday today. But you can read First Peter

5 through 8. 5.1.5, 7 through 8. Sorry, that always confuses me. it's it's the devil is prowling you know you move close to God the devil is prowling and he's looking for someone to eat

something along those lines I don't know it by heart but it's just a good reminder you know discipline focus effort

right service to others all of these things they really they turn you they give you a peekaboo box style against the devil. Okay, that's what it is.

If you don't know what a peekaboo boxing style is, just watch Mike Tyson. Because that's exactly what it is. The devil's throwing spears at you and you're just weaving. Flah, right? Beautiful. There are all these things that you can gather up,

Peeb and family is what I'm going to leave you with. There are all these things you can gather up. Diet, exercise, Bible, family, friends, right? There are all these things you can get hot. hobbies, music. You can gather all these gems up and you can hold them and, you know, marvel at them and enjoy them. And the years go by and they go by and go by and then you die. But if you're surrounded by these things, man, and a lot of them are free. As free as the sunrise and the sunset, as free as the passing of the seasons, right?

Free, free things that we just take for granted most of the time. You could surround yourself with these things and it's just all this. other shit out in the ether? Who cares? You know what I mean? Seriously. If the time comes when we have to go like red faction

gorillas on the AI data centers, then so be it. I know that's a weird reference, but if you look it up, you'll get it. And so be it, you know what I mean? I do think we need to get a little more forceful. I do think we have to figure out You know, who's in control of it? Like, you can't build.

You can't just be building a data center that's five times the size of Central Park in the United States and nobody gets a vote. You know what I mean? Because it's the whole freedom infringing on freedom thing. You know, like, you don't own the water. Right? You don't own the water. If I can't catch it in a rain barrel in certain states, I can. But, I mean, I know people who can't.

Like, if you can't catch it in a rain barrel. Because the government's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. What the hell you think you're doing holding on to 55 gallons of water? If that's a problem, then I don't want to hear that meta is going to use however many countless millions of thousands of millions of gallons of water every single day. Right? And it's just, okay. Just pay your bill. It's fine.

Happy Easter, PBM family. I'll be back on. Don't get me wrong. But, you know, there are problems of the day. And then there are free and incredible and majestic. and magical events of the day. There's a world of likely free artwork for you to go view in person, probably somewhere near you. If not, you can look at it all online.

What was I looking at before I came out? It was from the Epic Times. The Epic Times, it posted a piece of artwork. So beautiful. It staggered me on the way out the door. Okay, when he's got weak. It's a moonlight. I'll link to it in the show description.

It's so good. poetry right reading read something that has nothing to do with what we're living through right now just to enjoy the escape you need the balance in your life folks okay thanks for everything don't forget about our great sponsor citizen food prep dot com and look you got to go to pbmfamily.com and become a member right i have so many benefits that i have to say over and over again that i can't do it right right And now we're going to add this emergency comms group. It's going to take it to a whole new level. Talk to you soon, PBN family.

Tell you, friends.
