PBN family, the executive branch is far too powerful. I said it during Obama, Biden, Trump won, during COVID response. It just is what it is. and you know one of our high priorities as we the people has to be to really pair this executive power back you know we've gotten ourselves into a pissing match with executive orders now and frankly warfare you know what i mean i think you all understand the strategic situation with venezuela i think you understand the oil situation with venezuela i think you understand the drug situation with venezuela i think you understand the drug situation with Venezuela.

All of it plays a part. China, Russia, the whole nine yards. But what's clear to me is too much power in the executive branch. Republican Democrat doesn't matter. Whoever's at the helm. It's simply too much power. And watching this thing unfold with Venezuela, no Congress just reading us moments ago that, you know, land operations could happen. I, you know, this, we're just here.

No Congress, no vote, no, again, you know what I mean? Again. I did like the stance, however, I really did. I almost had a brain aneurysm listening to a CNN clip on my cell phone. A CNN clip of some general, so-called general, getting on CNN and talking about what Trump's doing to the world by telling Europe they need to stand up for themselves by telling the Asian countries that they need to be able to stand up against China as well and the logic like in this guy's argument was so you know I'm I don't know any generals personally but I have to imagine it takes a hell

of a lot of thinking take some brain power take some political posturing of course but definitely takes some thinking and some brains to become a general and And this fellow's rationale, well, it was clear he suffered from Trump derangement syndrome. You know what I mean? Like you can spot it a mile away now. It's so easy to see on people. You know, they start to void out the common sense. They start to, you know what they do?

They develop these really shallow, contrived, sort of weak arguments. and what this general's argument was was really silly. It was, and you would think a general would understand this better than anybody. It was Donald Trump keeps saying that we're so prosperous, and why can't we pay for protection all over the world? Right? In other words, in other words, it was a double slap at Trump, right? He was saying, America can't afford to take care of the world's defense.

And then he was, you know, so that's one slap, right? America under Trump were poor, we can't afford it. And then the other slap was, you know, but of course everything's coming up roses. And look, I'm not a fan of everything's coming up roses either. And I've mentioned that on the show already. But the reality is none of that made any sense. You look around the world and you see what we've done since World War II. You see the money we've spent.

you see the lives we've spent you see the souls we've spent it would it doesn't take a general or a genius to say why can't why can't you guys handle your backyard why can't you handle your borders why can't you handle your own way of life why can't you handle the def why can't europe handle Russia right shouldn't Europe be able to if they're so petrified if they're so alarmed if they're They're so blown away, if they're so mystified by the fact and so convinced, 100% that Putin's coming. Oh, I'm coming. He's coming. We're in big trouble. He's not going to stop at Ukraine. If you're so convinced of that, how come you're not prepared for that? If you're so convinced of that, why would you look across the pond making the same mistake that was made in 1940? Right? Oh, I sure hope the Americans come in 1940. You would think after World War II that the whole of Europe would say, never again. We're never going to be in a position where we've got to beg the yanks to cross the Atlantic

to save our ass again. So they're going to fund their own military. Imagine that. They're going to train up their boys so that our boys don't have to go over there and die. Imagine that. What a concept. Of course, this is supposed to look like weakness or bullying on Donald Trump's part, which is, you know, it's really hilarious.

And this so-called general also went after. Donald Trump for talking about, he made some remarks about you got to get your immigration under control, you're going to, nations are going to dissolve. And the general, the brilliant general, he looked at this as though, you know, bigotry, crazy fear mongering on this side of Donald Trump, you know, trying to, he called it trying to maga the Europeans, trying to MAGA Europe. You see how deranged? In other words, you look at a place like Britain.

You look a place like Ireland. That's so desperate. You see what happened with the Irish? The Irish are playing no games, by the way. They're bringing the NRA back, for God's sakes. The IRA, rather. Guys with masks and guns got on TV and did a broadcast or something to that effect. Irishman and said, look, this immigration thing, we've got to get under control.

the idea that this brilliant general would come on and talk about, try to pretend that what's happening with immigration in Europe is just a. okay. Why stem the tide? Why stop anything? Why change anything? Everything's fine and dandy. Why can't Europe afford an endless stream? Why can't Europe absorb the entirety of Africa and the Middle East? Why not? what's the problem right and ukraine on top of that how come they can't do that why why is anyone saying anything about a border or about a culture or about a language in their nation why is that being turning your country into maga magifying europe to sit there and say hey i think we have quite enough immigrants. I think we're good. Do you know what I mean? We do have to ask the question,

you know, like, when will the British be free? When will the British be free? When will the British no longer be colonizers? When will they be allowed to just exist as Brits and be proud of themselves again? How many, how many immigrants, right? How many immigrants, how many illegal immigrants, How many of these people have to make their way into the country for free and live for free and, you know, start fights in the streets in the whole nine yards? How many people have to be led into the nation before they can be given the thumbs up till they can be people again, until they can be more than colonizers? How many? What's the number? Millions? How many millions? How many millions until the white man can be free again? How many? how many until the eternal charges are dropped against the white man how many illegals have to be let into your nation how many uh killers have to be set loose in the nation how many how much drugs have to take the lives of all peoples in your country how much degradation does your country have to take until you get the okay from uh whoever makes up this backwards culture and notions about

things. How many? How long? What's what's the case? Right? What's the deal? What's the situation? What do we have to suffer until idiots like general ding-dong on CNN can say, you know what? Maybe Europe does have a right to stand up for itself. Maybe Europe has a right to stand up for itself in terms of immigration and maybe Europe has a responsibility to protect each and each other's own nations with each other's own military. This is where my head's at, BBMF, you know what I mean? You hear, you hear, it's one thing to hear some idiot CNN announcer, some Don Lemon type, you know what I mean, say something along those lines, that's one thing.

but when you get a U.S. general on there and you can see he's as broken as the rest of them. It's unnerving. You know, you want to hold these guys, you want to respect these guys and hold them to high esteem as me. You know, I'm just a civilian. I'm just a civilian with a microphone and a pen.

You know, I've never served a day in the military. And, you know, you want to hold these people into high esteem, and then you see one of the highest ranking people to ever have graced the military with no brains whatsoever. And it makes you very nervous as a simple civilian, right? Especially when your nation's barreling towards war yet again. Barreling towards regime change yet again. You know, that always goes well.

We've got a stellar record here in the United States with regime change. And, well, you could argue that the whole situation, and Ukraine was on the back of regime changed by the United States, the color revolution, right? The McCain Color Revolution over there. I mean, what is a humble writer and podcaster to do? Two of the least humble things there are in the world to do for a living, right? I'm going to write and you got to read it.

I'm going to talk and you better listen. No, but really, what is the average American to do? you know it makes sense to me I mean the average American is to do one thing and one thing only and that is to to really hone in and focus in to really understand that you better you better have your people you better have your group you better self-sustain

because you are living in monumental times PBM family you are living through the most historic times right now there is so much happening right now you'll look back on these times and you'll say during the advent and the birth of AI, America pulled away from the world and asked that the world stand up and do their share, right? Meanwhile, all of this was happening with the most divisive president in history at the helm, right? incredible things were happening in the in the united states people were protesting and ice raids were happening and all of these things were going on right the world was at a crossroads with technology fundamentally um so much you know what i mean no one could get a house no one could

get a this no one could get a that through whatever lens you see it you know this is part of that situation and it is monumental it is my i talked about a life plan the other day guys and i just it can't impress upon you enough the value of it now i'm talking about an emergency plan you know what i mean i'm talking about a life plan like take a look a lot of you are prescient a lot of you know and can tell and can see what's going on in the world you know what's going on right you know what's happening with markets you know it's going to go on with with technology, you know what's happening with all manners of things that are happening in the world, the shake up of power, right? What's happening in this world? I mean, it is a dynamic

situation, but it's one that we can track to some degree, right? When you look at it from the individual's perspective, the individual standpoint, when you look at it through the eyes of the individual, the average middle class, however old you are. It's hard to imagine for me. It's hard to imagine. And I'll just give you my perspective, but it's hard to imagine at me, right, right on the doorstep of 40. As I age and as I get closer to the golden years of my life, they, they're going to the golden years of my life, they that things are going to get easier, more affordable, right? I really have trouble with this.

If I am to lean on the system that's in place right now, things will get easier for me. I'll be able to make money easier, right? I'll be able to get resources cheaper. Of course, I will expect a big fat social security check, right? That's going to happen, right? So what I see over the next 20 years for me and my family and my loved ones, particularly like my wife and I survive.

I break it down to that, right? You break it down to within your four walls, right? We have a plan. The children, I think, will be just fine. But just the idea of life over the next 20 years for a guy like me. right when i look at the outlook do i say to myself and even even if all the sudden see here's the catch 22 in it all

there's always that talk about tech oh you know what the robots are harvesting the food and the robot and the ai knows when to pick and the pluck and the fertilize and all the so maybe the cost of food will go down are you going to trust it are you going to eat it we barely trust it now right We barely trust it now. What are you going to do, and it might already be in the... The seeds might already be in the ground,

but what are you going to do when they tell you that this new hybridized seed, this tomato, this apple, this pear, was generated in a lab by artificial intelligence in a way that is exponentially better than any hybridizing we could ever do? And now the food's much cheap. you know what I mean so my outlook on things always circles back to me it always circles back to my capability right it always goes in a circle it always starts with me and I say okay next 10 years next 20 years and all of a sudden I'm curving right I'm leaving home and I'm looking out into

the world and all these things are happening and this is supposed to get better and that might be better and that's maybe this will work out maybe that and i always wind up circling back to myself and saying what i see out there in the world is one big fat what if right it's one big giant fat what if and guess what if it's if it all works out beautiful but i just don't see it i don't see it i don't see years for the average middle class 40 something 50 something right even 30 something i mean like you look over the next 20 years and do you really see like i said it getting easier or harder to make money it getting easier or harder to afford the things that you need right it getting easier or harder to go along and get along in the society

You got more people than ever. You're going to have more people than ever. You're going to have less jobs than ever. You're going to have more needs to be met than ever and less people working on those needs. You're going to have a society that is so used to getting everything they want in an hour. And then on top of all of that, you know, there's the tech aspect of it all. There's the tech aspect of it all that it's terrifying.

You can't help everyone. You know what I mean? You can't, like, I get in my head. I get in this, like, superhero mentality in my head where I tell myself that you can't help everyone. Barely help a handful of people. But you know that people are going to be just, well, I said it years ago when I first played a VR headset. I said, people are going to get lost in here. And they're going to get lost in here for life.

And that's just the beginning, folks. That is just the beginning, you know? There's eventually going to come a time where you put a headset on and you're not here anymore. Or you go and sit down in a capsule somewhere and you're not here anymore. You know, in other words, right now, I'm sitting in a truck, debatable, waiting for my son to come out from, football registration for a tournament and it's cold right it's about 30 degrees out and i know for sure that one day there's going to be a headset or a capsule or a suit or something that you can climb

into and go from 30 degrees bundled up and cold with a beard to clean shaven sand between your toes on a beach right sitting next to some you know woman of your dreams or whatever the situation is under the hot sun where you even start to feel sweat beat on your body there's a drink next to you pick it up you taste you sip it it's the best uh mojito you ever had you're a king in this realm and your other option is to take that headset off get out of that capsule And go back to sweeping, go back to mopping, go back to doing dishes, go back to busing tables, painting walls, putting up drywall, putting roofs on, putting, right? Work. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck. I mean, really, at that point, it'll just be such a collapse in population. It'll be unbelievable. It'll be a collapsing population. We'll look back on this.

time if the technology gets to that point we'll look back on this time and we'll say remember when we were having when we were just below replacement level and we were freaking out remember we were freaking out way way back when we were just below replacement level oh no there's one point two babies being had between two white people or for every white person whatever the situation was right or below replacement oh my god i can't believe it americans are having one and a half babies we'll laugh at that we'll laugh at that

because there'll be no way in hell the rarest thing in the world will be a couple that stays together for life you can't convey what it is to stay together for life you can't convey children this is the problem like the book that I'm going to release let your heart be light is i told my son to write this down the other day when he was driving the car with me i said right i'll see if i can wing it i'm not 100% sure i'll be

able to wing it but it's six words i think it was love marriage love marriage family i can't remember love marriage family something god christmas okay that's the full back jack of the book. That's it. There's no... I do this thing with the back jackets of my Christmas books

and my holiday stuff. It's... I think that on the back of the hard cover of the Christmas hook it says, Are you afraid of the Christmas hook? And that's it.

And I'm going to do the same thing with this book. That's all it's going to have. And it really is... It truly is an attempt to explain these things. It's an attempt hidden

in a Christmas story to explain children, you know, the magic of children, the magic of marriage, the magic of really fully committing in marriage, the magic of long-term relationship, right? And there's also situations in there that show the fragility of new relationships. Because in that fragility, you cannot explain. This is what I'm trying to tell you. You can't explain this stuff to people. People tell you all the time when you're young. They tell you all the time.

Oh, this and that and the other thing. Oh, this and that and the other thing. You know, you should have kids. Kids are up. I can get on here and talk. I can talk to my kid. I could talk on here to people who don't have kids. I can tell you until I'm blue in the face.

Kids. You want to have kids. great you want to have kids the best thing in the world my niece my knee i was joking with her the other day messing with her because she sent me a picture she's all grown up she's got she was at a wedding with her with her boyfriend i like her boyfriend even though he's a dallas cowboys fan i do like him and uh he's a good guy but um i say hey it's time for marriage and children looks like you know they were all dialed up at a wedding she had some big glasses on look beautiful and i just said look It's time to get married.

It's time to have some kids. And they're at that age where it's like, we're never having kids. You remember that age, right? You remember that age? Five kids later when you were like, oh, I'm never having kids. We don't need to have kids. Sitting across the table at the restaurant,

my wife and I looking longingly in each other's eyes would have been married. I don't know, only a few years. One year, two years, something like that. Looking longingly into each other's eyes and saying, I guess we don't have to have kids. right do we have to have kids we don't have to have them no i guess we don't have to have kids okay you know fast forward one year from that moment she's pregnant and uh i do you know i don't want to

do the whole gushy father thing but you know you've heard it enough for me you know my take but you can't convey it you know the same way you can't convey what what where we at 18 you can't convey what no 17 years of marriage is like you can't take a kid who's 20 and he's been with his super hot super wild girlfriend for a year

and a half and they get in a fight you know what I mean or things start going downhill they're in it two years whatever three years things start fading out a little bit you can't grab him by the scruff of the neck and convey it doesn't matter what you do you can't convey it you can't tell them dude you get 20 years in and it's amazing you know you get 20 years in and two kids in

and you got traditions and you've got games and you've got you know this whole framework that you've built really what it is is it's an entire world and when I used to think like I never forget the vision that I had about divorce not Not that I was ever even considering divorce, but I had a vision about divorce. In fact, the vision of divorce is what led to the book, Let Your Heart Be Light, funny enough. Because I remember sitting downstairs, just every so often I get like the Dickinsonian, Dickinsonian. Keep your mind out of the potty. I'm talking about Charles Dickens.

But I get this sort of, you know, desire. to just sit down with a clean white screen with a blinking line and start typing away about Christmas time. And that's how the book came to be, really. And you'll see that in the intro to the book when you meet the narrator. But I had that moment and that moment first was born out of a morning with a coffee and a laptop and a fire in the fireplace and all the stockings hung. And the thought of divorce and what happens in a divorce because I'd never really thought about it before and what I saw was

I saw a world hanging amid the stockings a planet okay and it was our planet it was the planet that we created my wife and I you have created a world if you're married with children right

and what I never realized about divorces, no matter how well it goes, no matter how well it's executed, no matter everything's cordial, it's fine, you go your way, you take half, I go I way, I take half everything right down the middle, we'll split the kid time right down the middle, we'll be cordial, we'll be fine, we'll show up to the games, we'll show up to the events, we'll show up to the graduations, we will do this thing right to the best of our ability, even if things go that smooth that world that's hanging

is completely and utterly destroyed shattered like a world blown up like just picture a planet exploding in the midst of space never can it be reassembled

never can it be what it was I remember sitting there drinking coffee in this like revelation of a moment of my life just going like wow it can never be again and to some of you out there listening it might sound stupid it might sound like no duh like that's what divorce is but it can never be the same again right not for you you want to get out anyway. I'm talking about all the things that your kids have grown up with, all that they have become familiar with. You know, oh, well, dad's going to come over in the morning and he's

going to watch you guys open your presence even though he doesn't live here. Bullshit, you know what I mean? That's, that is not the same. And I just never, this was three, four years ago. You know, I've been married 15 years or something like that with kids for like 10. and it had never occurred to me. And I don't want to rub anybody the wrong way. It's a tough time this time of year to live with divorce and things like that. And I don't know. Do you know what I mean?

I married an exceptional woman and I married her because I knew that off the bat. And what I mean by exceptional, oh God, there's a hollow point in my... I was reaching up in this little part of my console and there's a hollow point nine million. round sitting there. I wonder why that's up there. Hmm. Doesn't look good either. It's got some wax in it.

Oh, this is a round that I loaded. Oh, not bad, Jimbo. Anybody else coat their 9mm rounds in melted wax? For some reason, I did. Anyhow. So, it's a tough time of year for that kind of stuff, I know. And I understand divorce.

I've seen it. You know what I mean? I understand. I understand people can get to fighting so deeply and so aggravatingly and so violently that it's better they'd be a part. And like I said, when I met my wife, I knew if I was going to marry somebody, she's the one to marry. And part of that was because I knew she's the type of woman who will stay married. Not from, you know, not no matter what. But I knew if we both went in on it that we would stay married.

I don't get me into the criteria for wife because I do that enough lately I feel like but it is pretty it's not as hard as you think you know what I mean I don't I don't think it's as hard as boys make it out find a quote unquote good woman I don't think you're going to find them on on what is it called what are the date what's on the dating apps and the you know I don't even even know if there's a club scene anymore but i don't know you're just looking for one though remember that you're looking for one that fits you're looking for one that you know we'll do the dance

for life for life so the great high wire act of life has been shit on by you know culture at large and i think we're getting back to it i do i think that we're we're going to get back to it we're going to get back to a little more common sense that the individual level right and this is kind of what i'm talking about in this broadcast from the get go is watching the world go by i see the collective masses sort of wrapped up all in this idea of what way is the wind blowing which way is the collective going and what am i supposed to do tell me what to do let me maybe if i flip to the next screen it'll tell me what to do flip to this screen and and Andrew Tate tells me what I should do and flip to that screen and Ben Shapiro tells me

where I can and cannot live and flip to this screen and Joe Rogan tells me how I should work out, right? And we get stuck in this thing and you know, you just slow down, buddy. Big gigantic white truck just flying through the parking lot. Sorry, I'm already six steps ahead getting the tourniquet, you know what I mean? This guy's flying through the parking lot, not like just through the parking spots in a giant white truck. I can't see behind me how far he got, but I'm just waiting for the crunch and crash and the shattering of glass and to grab this medical kit to my, you know, in my passenger seat and headrest and get running. But everybody's looking for a way to go instead of worrying about their way to go, right? everybody's looking for the well-manicured path

rather than pulling the machete out two rows diverged in the wood and I I chose the road less traveled by and it's made all the difference in my life Robert Frost for those of you who are interested we're losing that we're losing that road less traveled by

but the point of the broadcast and I'll leave it at this because I I'm on now I mean I'm all warmed up I'm all warmed up now I could go on and on and on and I may who knows

but I'll try to leave it at this and that is as the world grows more hysterical we look to things we look to gold we look to silver right we look to these things that we can lean on

we can rely on. I want you as a practice to understand the crazier things get, the more, I don't want to call it isolated you become, but the more self-reliant you become. In other words, when life gets crazy, that's when it's time to delve into that book you always wanted to write. When life is at its wildest, that's when you decide now is the time to jump into the creative process. Now is the time to take things at the homestead to the next level, to learn that new trade craft, to learn, you know what I mean? Or that new skill or that new, you know, whatever.

All the calamity is outside. You need to find the calm inside. It's the old calm within chaos adage. The way you do that is by manicuring yourself. You do that under the watchful eye of God, and you do that, you know, in a way that serves the people that are closest to you. You follow me, PBN family? Many of you live this life already, and it's a beautiful thing, but it's just important. It's literally a survival skill.

right as things get crazier without we must make them more uh more stable within whatever that means to you whatever that means to you you know to us crazy preppers that means if they screw things up bad enough that we got to go a month two months without resources we can do that right what that might mean to the average person is I'm going to begin this side hustle to bring in cash flow in case AI takes my job, right? And if you listen to my entrepreneurship podcast over at pbnfamily.com, the Cubicle Escape Plan podcast outlines the first 10 episodes of the Cubicle Escape Plan podcast are businesses you can start in days. 10 of them, right off the top, each podcast episodes.

business is you could start in a weekend businesses you could start in days right side hustles that can bring in um cash flow if this is your concern go inward pbn family make a plan what do you really think the world is going to look like in the next 20 years do you think it's going to be harder or easier for the average middle classer huh then get over. I'll talk to you soon. See ya.
