You're listening to PABN. You're paying back the stability here. And in that day shall there be no clear light but dark, and there shall be a day, it is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but about the evening time it shall be light. And the Lord, and in that day, shall the waters of life go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the East Sea, and half of them toward the uttermost sea, and shall be both in summer and in winter. Keep that in mind. All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rehman, towards the south of Jerusalem. And this shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite all people that have fought against Jerusalem their flesh shall consume away

Though they stand upon their feet and their eyes shall consume in their holes and their tongues shall consume in their mouth Now in the context of From Russia with Love, if you were a prophet and you saw, if you were Zechariah and you saw the detonation of a nuclear weapon. And you saw the blast, and you saw the after effects, and you saw how waters could be pushed to the eastern sea and to the western sea by this force. And you could see how a land could be turned as a plane from Geba to Ramon and if you saw the effects of a nuclear weapon on the human body your best possible yeah your best possible conclusion would be that it is a plague and then in watching that plague or nuclear blast hit a human body you might think

That their flesh shall consume away though they stand upon their feet Their eyes shall consume in their holes in their tongue shall consume in their mouth This is from the The long-forgotten Holy Bible. This is from Zechariah if you want to read it. It's 14 Chapter 14 kind of kicks off about 6 so 14 6 morning Jay Farrick. We're just reading about biblical nuclear bombs On today's show Not if it's very interesting the context you look at it and in that day there in it in that day shall there be no clear light but dark right

Hmm what's most telling you think about nuclear winter even there's even a con Comment about that right? Where's it at? and In that day shall their waters of the life go out from Jerusalem half of them towards the east and half of them toward the uttermost sea and shall be both in summer and in winter right so the hot blast of the nuclear weapon followed by the the overcast and potential nuclear winter of all-out war. Right?

Remember this discusses, Zechariah discusses one nuclear weapon against the enemies of Jerusalem. Well, it discusses the Lord attacking all enemies of Jerusalem in this way. And when you read that passage and then all of a sudden you think it's it's it will be daytime and night and will be both summer and winter and it's hard not to think like again, you're a prophet you're Zechariah you're looking out and seeing the world through some kind of vision and and you you see This light in the night, right you think about Israel Israel's always attacked when they get attacked in the middle of the day They get attacked during the night. So you see this big bright light that turns night into day

It says in the evening it shall be like day It's a nuclear weapon, right? And then you see all this happening in your area because that's all you can visualize. These people back in the biblical days had no real concept of things that could be happening on the other side of the world, but if the whole world is caught up in some nuclear volley, then all of a sudden you see summer turn to winter. And the only way to explain this thing would be, well, God's finally had it and he's brought

his weapons to bear upon the enemies of Jerusalem. It's a standout piece and you should read it yourself. Like I said, Zechariah 14.6 is where it starts. The bit about the, sort of the, I guess the nuclear fire, if you will, is in 1412. And this is my interpretation. I don't know if priests or, I don't go to church. So I have no idea. If people read Zechariah in church or in the biblical religious context and go that might be a nuke

You know what I mean? but Sure sounds familiar Welcome in to The prepper broadcasting network folks. I'm James Walton. This right here is the 1599 Geneva Bible I'm not selling it I just it was given to me by my mother-in-law my late mother-in-law who you know had a love for this nation like no other and this is a great book to have it has the prayer of George Washington in it. It has the Old and New Testament.

It has the Magna Carta in the back, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution of the United States. It's got rules of civility and decent behavior in it as well. So she bought it for us because she wanted us to have all that. She wanted to put something on the shelf that was like, if all else fails, you have the founding documents in the Bible as well. It's a beautiful thing, really is.

At the time, I kind of understood it, but one thing about my mother-in-law, she was always way ahead. You know what I mean? In terms of like what she was thinking about, what the future might hold and what we might need, that kind of thing. In fact, I remember standing in my backyard when we when we first purchased this house which would have been 2009 something like that and she was looking out the backyard which was mostly forested at the time and she said because she was a prepper for sure.

She said you should knock all these trees down and build a great big greenhouse. I wasn't even a prepper yet. I didn't, I just was thinking like, yeah, it'd be kind of cool. I guess, you know, didn't know what a big greenhouse would cost. And, uh, you know, we would have to get kind of creative cause it does get, we'd have to have like an outer bank screen house up on stilts up on some, but that would be kind of cool though. Anyhow, sorry. now I'm fantasizing

From Russia with love the biggest news to me is the 50-day ultimatum given to Vladimir Putin by Donald Trump and the effect that's gonna have on The world stage and the fact that that's already having on the world stage to me you know since the beginning since the beginning of Donald Trump's kind of push to Europe to become an actual country and maybe even to fracture and become the countries that the European Union once was and to have military might within each country has just been music to my ears. I don't know. The act of preparing for war, the act of military buildup, in my mind, has always just been beautiful.

It's always just been really like the greatest move for peace that a country can make. An ally. You see China building up for war. You're not like, ah, things are going to be great. But to me, there's no better means of peace than strength, military might, military competency. And I just love the idea.

I love the idea of Europe building up their military might as a deterrent to places like Russia, North Korea, Iran, you know, the bad guys of the world at large. Now, I know a lot of contrarians on the internet will be like, oh America's pretty bad, too, you know Can I give everybody a quick bit of advice? My my eyes have really opened to this and I may do a large-scale Review of the Superman movie because of it People are so concerned about being the smartest guy in the room that I do feel

like you're missing out on the joys of life you know what I mean like reading these Superman reviews and reading what people are locking on to. I watched Ben Shapiro's review of Superman because who wouldn't, right? Like, I don't know. When I saw that pop-up, I thought to myself like, I gotta watch it. I gotta see these two, like this confluence of things that doesn't mix at all and just sort of watch it heroically burst into flames, which it did. And it just, you know, I saw a lot of echoes of it throughout the Internet, and it just really what it spoke to was sort of my youth. I thought a lot about going to movies with my dad and. I thought a lot about going to movies with my dad and

Leaving the movie right and and with my son we do the same thing my son's really Leaving the movie and being like What'd you think it was good, okay And that's it You know what I mean not like Well, the problems with the plot or that you know what I mean, and they come up with this big Like they're sitting there taking notes watching the movie

Waiting for shit to go wrong waiting for something. This doesn't add up in the beginning of the movie He said that this and then by the middle of the neck couldn't figure out which way and how come everybody's looking to make some big grandiose point about the things that and here's the trick guys you're supposed to you paid to go see the movie you're supposed to enjoy yourself right we got a problem we have a problem and it's from this it's from this content creation thing because One thing that you can come to conclude very quickly about people who do this video making and podcasting thing If everything's a complaint 24-7 if everything what's wrong with this one's wrong in it. What what happened? What are you doing? wrong, what well case in point when you don't know what to talk about you talk about other people that suck and how they suck and why they suck let's have a look at the

mainstream media right let's have Russia sees Trump's 50-day window as a green light to keep up dot dot dot, you know blowing shit up Ukrainians welcome USA but see Trump's 50 day ultimatum to Dot-dot-dot long is what it was Trump demands the Ukrainian Russia war be finished in 50 days Trump offers Putin an ultimatum as pressure builds on Russia 50 wins in 50 days Trump threatens tariffs targeting Russia without Ukraine deal Donald Trump sending top-of-the-line Weapons to support NATO. Well, that's Sky News, you know, they're gonna like them But largely, you know, you got CNN here

Russia sees Trump's 50-day window as a green light to keep up brutal offensive Ukrainians BBC Ukrainians unimpressed by Trump's 50-day ultimatum. I Love that the that the Ukrainiansians unimpressed by Trump's 50-day ultimatum. I love that the that the Ukrainians are unimpressed. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if there was a nation out there like you're at war? We're at war with Mexico. Just go there with me. We're fighting Mexico tooth and nail and and another nation is like we're gonna help and We're like I don't like the way that you're helping It's gonna take too long. I don't appreciate the way that you're helping me So weird such a weird thing for American to wrap their head around

First of all that there's a nation that could come save the day at all like if there was an existential crisis in the United States like that there would be a nation one that would show up and be like we're here it's alright we're gonna talk to your enemy talk to you if they want to keep fucking around then we're gonna send a bunch of weapons over and we're gonna turn the tide on this battle and if it gets too crazy then we'll bring our giant military and we'll end it all together. For an American it's hard to even wrap your head around that. There's nobody but us you know it's not like Japan's gonna show up and be like we're gonna take care of you America. So this idea that you have like this Superman that shows up and helps every country with their problems for no reason. It's not like we leave with gold, backpacks full of gold from Ukraine, you know what I mean? Well we might get backpacks full of precious metals or rare-earth metals

rather. But you know what I mean? The soldiers don't. It's not like the people that actually show up to do the work or showing up and leaving, you know Filthy rich over it but You know, just it's a weird thing. It's a weird thing what it leads me back to is just this concept of like Why are we becoming a society looks for everything wrong with a thing? It's review culture. It is the whole review mentality.

Ever since the stupid written reviews online about restaurants started and people realized like I could sound really smart if I review a thing. And now everything's a review. Every relationship is a review. Every meeting is a review every relationship is a review every meeting is a review Every single thing that you do is a review and almost always to the negative. I mean when's the last time you saw a review or read a review on something and it was like gushing and legitimate right not not like

Because the cast was so diverse It was such a great presentation. Although the film set was inside of a cardboard box, the cast was tremendously diverse, so it was really one of the greatest cinematic adventures I'd ever gone on in my entire life, and so on and so forth. So you know, enjoy yourself folks, for God's sake, right? Air on the side of enjoying yourself. You know, even when things suck and things go bad or you go and see a movie and you don't

like it, just shut up and go on with your day. Like there's not enough room in here. Do you carry around a negative, a negative experience you had with a two hour movie? And that's mind boggling. I don't know. You're talking about taking one of the great joys of life, which is a Superman movie. And turning it into a cultural. And it's still, it made so much money.

I don't even know, you know,'s move on shall we NATO chief praises Trump I didn't know if you saw Trump in the NATO chief I was watching with my dad yesterday Donald Trump comes out and says you know what we're gonna do and even 50 days but we're also gonna we're also gonna make a bunch of money we're gonna sell a bunch of weapons to the EU And they're largely going to funnel them into the Ukraine into Ukraine. So, you know, that's what it is You know, it's good to have repercussions that's what what I I'm looking through this article now to see if they have anything about exactly what

But it's going to be missile batteries and Patriots and the whole thing and you know there is what largely one question in it all and the question is does Russia balk does Russia bag down in 50 days is the war over does the battle with the Europeans get exponentially worse and Does it get nuclear Right, that's the the n-word. Yeah, the real n-word Does it go nuclear okay, let's look at something real quick shall we yeah, let Let's look at something real quick, shall we? Yeah, let's definitely look at something real quick. Because whenever I say the word nuclear, I'm drawn back to our membership website

and the free book that's over there for everyone. Okay? This is our membership website. You've seen it. Most of you. If you're listening to the podcast podcast you should go check it out PBN family comm But what we we got a ton of stuff here, but what we got here that I want to talk about right now in particular is

Not the annual preparedness master schedule as great as it is Plan out your whole year in prepared. Just make sure you don't miss those things, those high notes that you need to hit. What I want to talk about is nuclear war prepared, not scared. I use this book yesterday. I was just in this book yesterday. Um, I can't tell you why I got to tell the guy first and then I'll tell you why. Right. But it was, uh, I definitely stepped out of of line I did something a little bit crazy yesterday and and stepped out of line

and we'll see what happens but this book we put together when Russia invaded Ukraine Russia invades Ukraine I called Dave Dave Jones, I say, hey, look, I don't even need to guess, I don't need to wait. I know the United States government's not going to do anything. They're not going to come out and say, here are the five things you need. Here's the list for nuclear preparedness. Here's what you should do in the event of a siren, nuclear wars is inevitable. Nuclear weapons are incoming, whatever the situation is. If you don't know anything about nuclear war, one of the most important things you

can have in here is the survivability of a nuclear attack. So long as you're, you know, not at the epicenter. But the survivability of a nuclear attack, like if you're in midtown Manhattan and an all-out nuclear war starts and you can't get out, it's going to be a miracle if you don't become cinders, right? But if you live on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., you could probably get away. You could probably get away. You could probably get away. You could probably survive. You know what I mean? And I think a lot of people in a suburban situation are situated in places all across the country where they

probably think if nuclear war happens they're dead and that's not the case. You know what I mean? It's probably not the case. So we wrote this book, Nuclear War Prepared Not Scared. You go and get it for free. You don't have to sign up for an email. You don't have to do anything. All right? You go get it for free. If you feel like, wow, this is really awesome, join the membership. You know, join the membership. You can join for five bucks a month. You could stick around for as many months as you want till you feel like you've earned What this book is worth? Then carry on from there, you know, it's your call PBM family comm is the website. This is literally a PDF that will load up just like this. You can download it for free

And Dave Jones the NBC guy is is the knowledge force behind it. Okay, and what I was doing guy is is the knowledge force behind it. Okay, and what I was doing was reading this yesterday and I think I should read it to you Because The NBC guy is a guy that is Impossible He's impossible to convey in a blurb Do you know what I mean? You know how people have in this age, or this hurry hurry rush rush age, people have sort of like figured out how to condense themselves

into a blurb. And you could do it. You know what I mean? I could do it if I had to. But every so often I think it's important that we give the DNBC guy his due and and I think this is about the best resource I have to do that because when he gets on he's like fun he's like this in real life too he's just when you when you hear him on the network he's just like he is in fact I think everybody's pretty much that way on the network now that I think about it you know but he's just like that he's the network now that I think about it, you know But he's just like that. He's fun. He wants to have a good time you know, there's there's things that need to get done and he wants to have a good time doing them and then you know when the works done he wants to hang out and

He's just a fun dude. So Let's talk about this because this is uh, I don't think you need to follow along. Let me show you the chapter breakdown real quick so you know what you get. Okay so the whole thing's hyperlinked right who is the NBC guy click it boom I go right to that and and then we've got all of this breakdown nuclear attack several questions answered radiation and fallout questions answered, nuclear preparedness questions answered. Okay.

It's like 21 pages. This is not a commitment. Jay Ferg in the chat, Jordan Smith in the chat says she has hers printed and in an emergency binder that's about the best thing you could do with it. That way you can look at it. Doesn't matter if we have internet or not. Doesn't matter if we've been EMP'd first, second, or third. Doesn't matter.

You can get a look at it. You can figure out what it is you need to figure out regarding the nuclear attack in your area. Hopefully, we never need it. But why not print it out? Why not have it? So let's talk about the NBC guy real quick so you know the kind of firepower we have at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

Like I said, I don't need to read it to you. So, you don't need to follow along so we can just do it this way. I'll kill that and bring it back up. Because what you're dealing with with Dave Jones is a highly decorated guy who is... well, I told him over the weekend the line from Rudyard Kipling's poem, If. Right? And if you have never read If, then you really should, because it's the one. It's the one a lot of people know him for. But there's a line in it that says if you can walk with kings but never lose the common touch and I think that really is Dave. You know what I mean? So from

his words, I started my military career in the US Army in 1975. I was selected as an assistant to the Nuclear Biological Chemical Warfare Non-commissioned Officer and I attended a two-week training course on the subject. As it turned out, my scores were quite high on the four exams we took in two weeks, even beating out some officers that were also attending the training. I found NBC, Nuclear Biological Chemical, very interesting. And I worked hard to develop my skills in that area. After receiving multiple awards for my work in NBC,

I traveled to Fort McClellan, Alabama to attend two months of training that would change my military job to nuclear biological chemical warfare operations specialist. This was a non-commissioned officer course. And I graduated number one in my class, even beating out three other NCOs that were instructors at the school.

For a period of about six years, I pursued a career in law enforcement, but stayed in the reserve. During this time, I became an NBC instructor, received many awards for my duties, and was promoted to sergeant first class at an unusually rapid pace of fewer than nine years time in service.

In 85, I had the opportunity to attend officer candidate school at Fort Benning, Georgia and became an NBC officer. Graduated from the officer candidate school, distinguished military graduate, and my NBC officer basic course as number one in my class. Because I did so well, the U.S. Army wanted me back on active duty with a choice of assignments. And for the next 14 years, I served in a variety of roles, including commanding a smoke generator company, brigade operations officer, the director of morale, recreation, and welfare for Fort Indian Town Gap PA.

I retired from active duty with the rank of major in April 2006. Months later, 9-11 happened. Then six months after that, I was recalled to active duty. The orders I received sent me to the Middle East where I spent the next 22 continuous months traveling to 16 different countries as a vulnerability assessment team chief for the US Central Command. Yeah. If that was it, that would be interesting enough, right?

But he goes into emergency management after a career in the military. Emergency management was my career in civilian life after that. I performed duties of emergency management operations specialist at NASA headquarters, US Air Force global strike command, the nuclear weapons command for the US Air Force, and for the Department of Homeland Security at a place called Mount Weather. I retired from that position as a GS-14 in February 2019. It's not done, but I'm done reading it.

But there's even more, you know what I mean? And it's just, that's our guy. That's our guy for nuclear war preparedness. That's who we consult. That's who helped me write that book right there, gave me all the information and like I said free access up there at PBN family.com literally Literally free because your government has failed you so thoroughly and I knew they would and That's why we have that book. That's why we wrote that book. That's why that book goes out to people, you know Hand in glove you go grab the PDF, download it,

it's yours. If you take the book, here, this is all up to you, you take the book and you say, damn, it's pretty cool that we have this free thing. Join the membership side. You can do that. You can join the membership side. It's very easy to sign up. Just go start your membership over there at pbnfamily.com and like I said, you could become... you could do a month a month for five bucks a month and go for two months, pay ten bucks for the book, whatever you want to do, you know. Some people, lots more people than I thought by the way. Have that built into them, and that is kind of a beautiful thing, right? If you give them something of value, they usually want to give you something in return.

And that's pretty cool. That's one of those niceties I hope we don't learn. Or lose, rather. Hope we don't lose. Now there's a lot of, you know, when you make a move like this with a nuclear nation of two nuclear nations upset with one another There are a lot of things that can happen there are a lot of contrarian sort of uh Points out there to be made and like I showed you with cnn Some people are worried about it. Now. Here's the issue like

I don't trust CNN, so I don't care about their contrarian point. However, I do think that Michael Snyder from the Economic Collapse Blog has done a great job lately at sort of really just looking at what Donald Trump is up to and being kind of fair and balanced on the good and the bad. In other words, not just saying like, rah rah, he did a thing. So it's got to be good. I like Michael Snyder. I want to read from his article today. I would share his website, but his website is so covered in ads, I don't know if it's worth it. I'm just being honest. I love the website. Don't get me wrong.

I absolutely love the website, theeconomicalabsblog.com. But if I share the screen with you while I read it, right now there's a Walmart ad. There's two ads for his books, there's a donate ad, there's a bone on bone knee sleeve ad, there's an Alexa Pure Walmart car insurance ad. It's total chaos over there. I mean I hope he's got bills to pay. I get it.

But so I'm just going to read it to you. Oh, and then here's a pop-up on top of it all. His article is titled, Threatening the Russians with an Ultimatum Will Backfire Severely and Set the Stage for Nuclear War. This came out yesterday. And I'm interested to see what he thinks, you know. Trump has issued a very ominous ultimatum. If Russia does not end the war in Ukraine within 50 days you

also impose very severe tariffs on all nations that do business with Russia in addition Trump approved a massive new weapons package for Ukraine this we're going to be doing very severe tariffs always also going to do a 100% tariff in 50 days. I didn't mention that. On Russia. The deadline that Trump has set falls in September. Why is that so funny, Glass? Why September? September is literally National Preparedness Month.

September is Prepper Camp. You're going to Prepper Camp, right? Preppercamp.com get your tickets, man. What the hell? What are you doing? What are you thinking? Sorry. I had to parry a nap. Did you see that?

Get your tickets. Seriously. Preppercamp.com come be there. My class is going to be awesome. We're going to talk survival triggers, preparedness triggers. We're going to talk when to actually do all this stuff. We talk about doing, and I don't mean like the day to day. I mean like, Oh shit.

It's time to bug out. Oh no, there's a bad guy in the neighborhood or many, you know, what, when do you actually kick this thing into high gear? Cause most of us don't know. How do I know? Because I watched COVID. I watched all of you at COVID. I watched myself at COVID. A lot of hesitation, right? Tons of other great classes too, though. So we're going to be doing secondary tariff if we don't have a deal within 50 days, Trump said, from the Oval Office, and they'll at a hundred percent we're very very unhappy

with Russia China doesn't turn here this is Michael now China does tremendous amount of business with Russia are we going to hit the Chinese people the Chinese with 100 percent tariffs that would not be good for our economy at all much more importantly the enormous weapons package that Trump is sending to Ukraine will significantly escalate the conflict. See, this is, this is the weird thing though. Russia has significantly escalated the conflict. That's what's happening right now.

You know what I mean? That's just the reality. What's happening right now. You know what I mean? That's just the reality what's happening there They're gobbling up everything they can and and really trying to break the spirit of the ukrainians I think largely because they know that this is coming to an end Right They want to make sure they have what they want They want to make sure that that it hurts bad enough that at the bargaining table they get what they want and what do they want I mean I really do think what they want is a buffer between NATO and Russia I don't

think that they want Poland after this war I don't think that they could take anybody what and now with these weapons coming over, you know what it's going to be, right? I mean, just imagine what it's taken to get this far in Ukraine. We're talking about Ukraine. Think about what it's taken. I would be very interested to see total losses and so on and so forth on the Russian side, amounts of weapons used and you know that kind of thing. According to NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte, nations all over Europe

are very eager to participate in the first wave of this program. Donald Trump did say something yesterday that when I listen to Donald Trump I almost always hear at least one thing that I don't see picked up by the news at all. And the one thing that he said that I thought was maybe the most interesting was there's a lot of spirit and a lot of passion in Europe for this war. And what he means is coming to an end, being prepared, like dealing with the Russian threat, like the echoes of invasion, right? The echoes of past invasion and not having to have that happen, even though they're being invaded by North Africa and the Middle East.

You know what I'm saying. So yeah, I think there's something to that. I mean, there is something to that. There is something to taking a people and empowering a people who are dedicated to exactly what the rest of the world wants, which is let's stop Russia here and you know they got their little buffer zone. It is what it is. And let's end this thing. And let's make sure that Europe strong enough so that they can... So it's not even a thought, right? So this idea of lining tanks and troops and weapons up at the border with Poland or the new border with Ukraine again, never happens again. We all know this happened because of weakness. And that's what it was.

We had a virus of auto pen and weakness run through the country for four years and that's what spurred this on man. This is again European nations standing up. Root added. I've been in contact with many countries. I can tell you at this moment Germany Germany massively but also Finland and Denmark and Sweden and Norway we have The Kingdom of the Netherlands Canada. They all want to be a part of this and this is only the first wave There will be more route confirmed So what we'll do is work through the NATO systems to make sure that we know what Ukraine's need Ukrainians need. Michael Snyder's thoughts, this isn't going to end the war, it's just going to make it even worse. Apparently,

this new aid for Ukraine will likely include long-range missiles that will be capable of striking targets deep within Russian territory. Where do drones come from that struck deep within Russian territory? Where they, you know what I'm saying? Let's not pretend like that amazing attack was just the Ukrainian brilliance at its highest. This is what it is. Trump asked Putin to come to the bargaining table four times and four times cease fires and deals were broken.

What do you want? Nobody wants a nuclear war. At the end of 2024, the Biden administration brought us to the brink of nuclear war by allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles provided by the United States deep into Russian territory. Now we're doing it again. Well, that's what happens when you put a red line in the sand, like Putin did, and nothing happens. You know what I mean? Nothing came of it.

Michael Snyder goes on, let me ask you a question. If another country launched long-range missiles at Washington DC New York City what would we do the answer to the question is obvious if long-range missiles provided by the United States start falling in Moscow the Russians will respond forcefully that part I don't believe I don't believe that if you sell or if we sell long-range missiles to the Russians or Tom's I to NATO that get shipped to Ukraine launched from Ukraine into Russia and then Russia says it's nuke time I don't believe that the United States would be their first target right I don't think the Russia will use a nuclear weapon personally unless things go totally off the rails it's insta kill you know what

I mean I think actually that this thing will come to a close and I think the pressure of the TARP tariffs and not to mention the fact that I think Russia already has what it wants. I think it was probably three months ago that Dave Jones, the NBC guy on a Preppers Live, and we already talked about this whole concept concept this idea that Russia is pushing As hard as they can push at the tail end of this war because they know they want what they want They know they got what they want in terms of territory and they want to hold on to it and they want to hurt Ukraine bad enough so that Ukraine comes to the table and says sure keep it Keep it keep your buffer zone

And that's what what's happening. And that's what's happening, I think. That's what's happening. To throw all that away and start launching nuclear weapons. And in a 50-day timeline, you have the ability to come to the table and get a deal done, right? I think if they do anything but that, I don't know. I don't know that Russia will recover in our lifetime. In America, we have this tendency to give other nations a lot of grace, almost supernatural powers. We do it with China all the time.

China, man. China. China. China's going to go super saiyan on us. You know, you live in the greatest country on the planet that is the most sound in its military by far now, we know. And even in the economy. There's no other nation that can carry around a $38 trillion debt or whatever we have now, I don't keep track of it.

And still be the number one economic power in the world and will remain so too, by the way, I think, for a long time, just is what it is. All that said, get your book, because I could be wrong. I could be completely wrong. Preparing and being the headmaster here at PBN is not about being right all the time. I'm just telling you what I feel and what I see and what I get from what I read and

what I've seen throughout history and so on. And taking Russia on their word a little bit. I don't see the benefit of like, remember, for those of you who think Russia is going to keep forging into the West, taking nations, all you have to think about when it comes to taking nations is one thing you You don't just take nations and then we're done. If you take Poland, which I don't even know if that's possible with Russia right now, but let's say they took Poland with the, with the Matt tactical nukes and air for the whole nine, let's say they got took Poland.

Well, now you have to hold them. You have to hold that nation. You have to hold that nation. You have NATO breathing down your neck probably, you know, really devastating your country and Then you have an entire force Against you within the country of the like the Polish people the Polish underground gorillas who are gonna make life hell and probably get fed weapons from NATO everything drones like crazy you know you think you're gonna have a like a if you think you're gonna have a collection of side road stops checkpoints these kinds of things in the

age of drones like like good luck. You're not just worried about a guy in a pickup truck with a, you know, the machine gun on top of it. No, you're sitting there at a, at a stagnant checkpoint with your AK 47 looking up to the sky, waiting for about 20 drones with bombs to come down on top of the checkpoint and blow you into nothing. drones with bombs to come down on top of the checkpoint blow you into nothing. Holding a nation this day and age is probably almost impossible especially if it's one that's getting fed weapons and you know Russia knows that. There is no benefit whatsoever in them taking a whole nation like like a NATO nation and holding it. For what?

For what? What would they stand to gain from that? You think? And Russia's in the same boat everyone else is, folks. We don't have enough people. I know that sounds crazy. We're living on a planet with 8 billion people on it. But generationally speaking, we don't have enough people. They don't have enough people to enter into a protracted war with NATO, watch all their young men die, and then go, shit, where's all the refill? Where's the

resupply? Their birth rate's as low as most in the West, you know? So unless they make a dr- and they're getting there, but unless they make a dramatic turn into some kind of drone warfare, it's just as what it is. All that said, if you want to live a life that is healthy up here in here everywhere go to PBN family.com print out the book I'm not asking you for money today I'm not saying go sign up and become a member and all that kind of stuff what I am telling you though is that the lifestyle of preparedness is the anti-anxiety drug of the age? It really is it really is I mean I I watch a lot of stuff about you know, I have kids boys coming up in this world and Of course I'm making plans, of course

I want them to have a path to success of course, we're gonna take all of my skills plus all of their skills and Braid them together into something that looks like a plan for the future, right? Which, you know, I got a feeling it'll work. I got a feeling it'll work out for both of them. But that said, I know what the ailments are out there today. I know what the struggles are today. I know what the ailments are out there today. I know what the struggles are today. I know what the job market is like.

I know what the cost of living is like. It's rough. But what I also know is I never saw more opportunity open up personally and for people at large than when I started prepping and getting into homesteading and self-sufficiency. You go from being a consumer like on the a very like you know just a very unidimensional skill set that applies where everyone else is applying and what I read in the comment section yesterday I was watching a video about

men's issues and it was I think the guy for eight months at 40 hours a week, this was his comment, I don't know how you apply for jobs 40 hours a week, I don't believe it, but he said for eight months 40 hours a week he was applying for jobs, he had a master's degree in accounting and or engineer, it was something big, finance maybe, I don't know. And after, after yeah after about eight months he got a job he landed finally landed a job, you know The world is different and The world is different and how you succeed in the world is different and It has to do with what you produce

It has to do with what you produce and what you can fortify, right? And what you can sort of survive on outside of this wacky system. And like I tell you guys in the Cubicle Escape Plan podcast, I do believe that entrepreneurship is a survival imperative and that doesn't mean you have to quit your job. But I do believe that entrepreneurship is a survival imperative. And that doesn't mean you have to quit your job. But I do think that multiple streams of income is not a fun little YouTube video headline clip. You know what I mean? I do think that establishing multiple streams of income

is the key. I do. I think it is very important. Because in the age of automation and artificial intelligence, you could wake up tomorrow and your boss could go, could you spend the rest of the week working with this AI system on your computer? And then in two weeks, we're going

to give you a little severance, and you're going to be on your way. And if that's your one sole income source, then it sucks to be you. You know what I mean? So the Cubicle Escape Plan podcast is another aspect of our membership at PBN. It's a 25 episode series, I think now, all about starting business. The first 10 episodes are different types of businesses that you could start in like a weekend

Literally just start them in a weekend things that I have done personally everything in there is are things that I have done personally Maybe not tooking them to the extreme like you could but I've walked through the process done something relating to PBN with it that kind of thing and Yeah something relating to PBN with it that kind of thing and yeah you got to become a wildcatter folks you got to you got to drill some holes you got to you got to find the oil but all that said man the path to stability is probably paved by like unrelenting stubbornness, but also, you know, resilience. I mean, it really is that. It really is sort of a never-ending grind, but once you get your feet on the ground and you just get into this

lifestyle of self-sufficiency, whatever that looks like for you, this day-to-day sort of workload of what it looks like to grow the food, raise the food, store the food, protect the family, have the plans, understand the threats, monitor the threats. It sounds overwhelming, but it's not really. And then all of a sudden, all the headlines start to become soft and fluffy instead of sharp and and you know Murderous because all of a sudden you can manage them all of a sudden Trump gives for Vladimir Putin a 50-day deadline and people start worrying about nuclear war again, and you're not sitting there from a place of Complete and total ignorance about nuclear war where you you can't even figure out step one

Complete and total ignorance about nuclear war where you you can't even figure out step one You know what step one what what that what the hell am I supposed to do now? I got to go to work. I got to do all this stuff at work. I got to get the paycheck I got to save some of it put it in this put it in that Prepping has become anti-anxiety. That's all there is to it join You know get your prescription. Let's go with that Get yourself a get yourself a 90-day prescription of preparedness because I'm telling you right now folks It'll make a world of difference for you. All right, I'll talk to you folks soon. Holy shit. We did an hour I hope you stuck around.
