You're listening to P.B.N. Your path back to be. Yes. I want you to live by that principle for the remainder of 2024. Even if you can't live by it at least keep it close by put it on a post-it note hang it in a mirror or whatever america's only as crooked and lost as we allow her to be uh that my friends is the real truth you know the fox news headline the msn headline the prepper broadcastingcasting Network headline even,

what it never takes into account is you, the people, the failings, the collective failures of the people. And the further I get along this path that I am on, the more I look to the people around me and say, you know, we know what we know about the highest levels of government, but how many people are there? We know what we know about the highest levels of government, but how many people are they? We know what we know about the richest and most influential people in the world, but how many people are they? What I am most interested in is you, me, the people around me, close to me. Not close to me in the sense even that they're family. Though I am interested in them too. But I'm talking about, you know,

a lot of assumptions are made when you listen to a guy who calls himself the intrepid commander with the prep of broadcasting. A lot of assumptions are made. You get to the point where you say to yourself, who is this guy anyway? I guess he's some guy who lives out in the middle of nowhere. He's got a homestead.

He's always talking about his chickens and his gardens and stuff. And, you know, great as it would be, it's just not me. Well, my diehard fans really know who I am. They know where I live. I'm awash in humanity. I'm awash in humanity. My kids are spread out between two—I don't want to go into it for op-sec reasons, but my lifestyle puts me in front of a broad range of people.

Now, I don't sit down and talk to them all, but I watch them and I listen and I wonder, and some of them I do talk to. I, and I always will, I enjoy stepping through the American experience. I enjoy the good and the bad. I enjoy the sorrow and the joys, the whole thing. You know what I mean? I like to watch the American experience go round. In fact, it's one of my joys. It's one of my great joys to sort of walk almost unseen in the world, particularly through neighborhoods in Richmond, Virginia, where I see kids playing,

families walking, whatever that situation. It doesn't have to be picturesque. It doesn't have to be perfect. It could be a dad yelling at at his son, could be a group of siblings fighting, could be, you know what I mean? But when you see that sort of picturesque America, not in the perfect sense, but in the familial sense, and you see, and in that whole mix, you also see people who are frustrated and suffering and working their way through whatever kind of problems they're working their way through. This is the whole. This is America. Like, this is what it is. You are what it is. I have to tell you that the things that we suffer in this nation are us. They are us. Do you know what I mean? And if we could only look to ourselves for the answers, we'd be much better. You know,

we could look to God and we could look to ourselves long before we ever looked to a political leader, we ever looked to a political leader, we ever looked to some famous person, whatever. I was listening to Tim Kennedy on Modern Wisdom, which is one of my favorite podcasts right now. And if you want to help me out, I actually sent a guest request. I'm not anywhere near big enough or popular enough to wind up on that show right now because it's exploding. But, you know, that's me. I'll take a crack anyway. And so, you know, go over to Modern Wisdom website, send them a thing, say you want James from the Prepper Broadcasting Network to come on. It might help. It might nudge them a thing say you want james from the prepper broadcasting network to come on it might help might nudge them a little bit um but anyway tim kennedy was talking about how americans are

uh entering trying to the americans who are entering the military are too dumb and too fat to join you know like they're the asvab scores have been dropping for 25 years plus, and they're too out of shape and too feeble to endure what's required, a lot of them, a large percentage. And I thought about that for a while, and thought and thought and thought, and I said to myself, the problems that we face are not legislatable. I think you know that already, right? They're not things we can legislate our way. You can't say, stop being fat to the kids. I also started thinking, you know, one of the major problems with the military right now is

if you were to join the military, what would you be doing? You know, the major conflicts that most people see, most people don't want to be involved in. So that's a part of the deal, too. And it all kind of comes back to this idea of, who are these American people? Who are these American people? What are we creating? What are we? And better to look inward And ask yourself each and every morning What can I do to be better

Than to ask what can the country do to be better What can the leaders do to be better Do you know what I mean? I posted something I don't know if it's there anymore Somebody reposted it to me though so i can see who who liked it oh you know it was it was our wonderful sponsor say grace protein thank you say grace for throwing that up because now i can go back and read it because i operate

this big instagram channel and uh sometimes I post things up there that have nothing to do with nothing and everything to do with me. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves. And then I added to that, this is why you struggle with prepping. That was the post.

Because I see that a lot. You know, I see that. That's the whole purpose behind the routines here at PBN, the preparedness routines, the monthly routines. It's just because it's a good metric. Again, what I want to hear from someone who doesn't participate in the PBN routines is, well, one of two things. One, I'm not a member and I'm sorry, so I'm signing up now.

And number two, I have my own routine and it's better than yours. Those are the things I want to hear. Do you know what I mean? But I don't hear a lot of that. I hear a lot of nothing in terms of routines, unless people are doing them. But that's the quickest way to fix this country. You. It's you.

That's a lot. I know it's a lot of pressure. I don't have time. I can't. I'm not making any money. I'm struggling. I can't do it. I can't figure it out.

I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Maybe not, though. You know, stop reserving. One of the things I learned working out years ago was to stop reserving uh your muster for some time in the future where that you think might be coming do you know what i mean like you hear it from americans all the time you hear it from preppers

all the time you hear it from people a lot. Like, there's another gear. And when things get real, I'm going to that gear. Like, I learned and I realized if you want to work out and you really want to get strong and really get your endurance up, you got to go for it all. Like, you got to go for it all. Forget about, like, let me hold back because I got a long day. Let me hold back. No, no, no. Your body will adapt.

And it's the same thing with life. We have to be the best version of Americans you've ever seen. That's what we have to strive to be. We have to raise kids who can be that. I don't know, guys. America's only as crooked and lost as we allow her to be. It's that simple. You can't sit here and tell me that these retards in Congress

are the reason America's ruined. Because what you're saying then is this. I got beat by Ocasio-Cortez. I can't live with it. First of all, I can't live with the American people being beat by Rashida Tlaib. And I certainly can't live with the fact that I'm going to sit here and concede defeat to somebody who's that much of an idiot. It's not going to happen. And the way that we stand up and the way that we do this thing the right way is, well, let's get to One Threat, One Solution, and we'll talk about it in detail.

How about that? I don't know. I was planting this morning, listening to too much patriotic conversation, listening to all those terrible, horrible, doing all those terrible, horrible things that should be outlawed. Right. All those terrible, you know, thinking about the future and planning for America and, you know, I don't know, prepping, survival, self-reliance, independence, all those terrible words that should be banned and outlawed. You know how it goes, right? I was all awash in those feelings today. And as you can see, it's translating to you.

So let's get into it. One threat, one solution. Look, it's a dark story, PBM family, and this one is much less a solution and much more a lesson, I guess, but it is what it is. In D.C. on February 25th, the eve of the commander's birthday, a man who identified himself as an active duty Air Force service member while wearing what appeared to be an OCP utility uniform set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy. This is in Washington, D.C., February 25th. This guy has no respect for my birthday, by the way.

I'm just kidding. This is happening in America, okay? This is from our partners, the Gray Man Brief, by the way. This is happening in America, the United States, okay? It's wild. This is not Iraq. It's not Afghanistan. This isn't some, you know, nightmare in Africa.

He set himself on fire in front of the Israel embassy. He reportedly said, I will no longer be complicit in genocide and free Palestine. Wow. Sit with this for a moment. Just sit with this for a moment. The U.S. Air Force spokesperson later confirmed the man was an active duty airman. The man died from his injuries. Pro-Palestinians are holding multiple vigils in his honor. They're honoring him now. The man was in contact. Now, here's the interesting part. The man was in contact with crime ethnic, crime, crime thenic. I don't know what this is, crime-thinic Antifa prior to the self-immolating, according to the anarchist site.

The man also identified as Lilianar Kitty, but it is unsure if he considered himself a female. He was also active in the ACAB and socialist forums. Now, a lot of people are doing this these days. Not setting themselves on fire, I mean. Hold on. I got to look up Crime Athenic Antifa because, as you know, this is not a terrorist organization. So don't you worry about it. about it. Oh, Crime, Crimeth Inc. is what it is. Squaring off against fascism. It's a, it's a beautiful, oh, they got a podcast too. Hmm. Maybe we should start a war. Don't stop. Continue fighting. Continue the fight against cop city. Okay. So what we have going on here, no wall they can build. The hot wire. Dude, you guys got to listen to this. I'm going to listen to this. This should be fun. I want to be a guest. Let's be a guest. About. Crimethink. That's what it is. Crimethink. Crimethink is every, this is so fucking

unbelievable, PBN family. I cannot believe the world I live in sometimes. It's not Crimeth Inc. I'm stupid. It's Crimeth Inc. There's an Antifa website association with podcasts, books, libraries, tools, and a store. Justice Department, wake up! Crimethink.com, Justice Department, if you're worried about accosting anybody but me and taking my guns and taxing me into oblivion, if you'd really like to stop a group of people who are

absolute domestic terrorists, go to crimethink.com and check out a podcast. Crimethink is everything that evades control. This is their website. The daydream in the classroom, the renegade breaking ranks, the spray-painted walls that continue to speak, even under martial law. It is the persistent sense that things could be otherwise, that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the prevailing social order. In a world optimized for administration, everything that cannot be classified or displayed on a screen is crime think.

It is the spirit of rebellion without which freedom is literally unthinkable. Crime think is a rebel alliance, a secret society pledged to the propagation of crime think. Crime Think is a rebel alliance, a secret society pledged to the propagation of Crime Think. It is a think tank producing ideas and actions, a sphinx posing questions fatal to the superstitions of our age. Now here's where they get away with everything, right? Crime Think is a banner for anonymous collective action. So they don't exist, really. Don't worry.

That's what we need to say. We're all anonymous. That's the way need to say. We're all anonymous. That's the way to do it. These guys got it figured out. They've got a mailing address. They've got a P.O. box. They've got, yeah, all kinds of stuff. Let's have a look at their tools. Let's see what their tools are.

I'm very interested. Zines, journals, posters, stickers, videos, music, logos. Can we read one? Okay. I'll do this on my own time, and we'll talk about it a little later, or I'll see if another host wants to get into it because it's phenomenal. Remember they told you Antifa was nothing to worry about? Ah, it's nothing to worry about, man.

It's fine. They've got We the People and a limousine on fire with the windows bashed out of it. Don't worry about it. That's fine. Take James Walton's guns. He's the problem. If a majority voted for you to jump off a bridge, would you? Maybe if it was a fair vote. Theory and critique from democracy to freedom. The thin blue line is a burning fuse. Why every struggle is now a struggle against the police. Yeah, this is no small site, PBN family.

There's a lot going on here. And they've got it in three, four, five different languages. No, about 40 different languages. Contradictionary work. Expect resistance, days of war, nights of love, recipes for disaster, the anarchist cookbook. Listen, guys, this is the deal. Now, I got on here to talk about the man who set himself on fire. I didn't realize I was going to wade into the nightmare of crime think, the new secret social upheaval, secret society that is hell-bent on anarchy across the United States but will never see a single phone call from the FBI, right? All I can tell you, it goes back to my point, right? It goes back to my point. If I saw people in these, because some things, there are parallels in their motivations of

rebellion and freedom, right? The trouble with these organizations is they have no spokesperson. Not that they necessarily need a spokesperson, but also the collective never seems to look ideal or desirable by any stretch. Americans who are working hard and striving for a better nation, they have a life that is of deep appeal. Family fulfillment, oftentimes business, physical fitness, right? These sort of attributes you look at and you go like, I'll take a cup of that. Again, I said it last week. If you so believe in your cause, take your mask off. Right?

Nobody's coming for you. They're only coming for me. They're only coming for people like me. They don't care about you. The current Justice Department is not going to go, let's go figure out what this crime thing people are who are selling the anarchist cookbook. America harder. That's your mission.

All right? That's your one solution today. Your one threat. There are anarcho lunatics who are just spreading like wildfire all over the country. Maybe, maybe not. That might be not true. That might be me saying something fantastic to get you excited. But there is no doubt that this group, Crimethink, was in contact with the man who decided, Kitty, who decided he'd set himself on fire, and he died from his injuries, by the way, in order to stop the genocide in Gaza. Do you know how many wrong turns you have to take to get to that point?

Do you know what I mean? America harder. To my man Chin Gibson out there, don't worry. This concept of America harder is already in a t-shirt design, so don't worry. I have, yeah, you know what I'm talking about, Chin.

What do I mean by that? I mean life. I mean liberty. I mean the pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness. That's what it means to America harder. First Amendment, Second Amendment rights. That's what it means to America harder. These are the, this is the morality, this, you know, these are the principles,

the founding principles of the United States. You know what I mean? Lean into this stuff. Lean into the Christian doctrine. Why? These are the founding principles. This is the very base of what this nation was built on and what made it great. Period. That's it. And what we need is for people to get out of distraction and America harder. Because we need to show people like CrimeThink and their followers, their desperate and destitute followers, that these things are inherently... To America harder is the most desirable thing you can do. Right?

Entrepreneurial endeavors, i.e., whatever, the pursuit of happiness, whatever that looks like for you. The protection and preservation of life. Now, if you convince a man, if you convince a man that what he should probably do is set himself on fire out front of a building in Washington, D.C. to stop a genocide that's not really a genocide, is that life? Is that liberty? Are you doing your best to help this guy who's clearly a mess, named himself Kitty, and desires to commit suicide? You know, love thy neighbor a bit, man. Don't propagandize thy neighbor. Don't turn thy neighbor into a pyre. So, you know, the one threat, the one solution of

the day, it's dark. It is what it is. But, you know, I don't know what to tell you. You got to America harder. You got to lean into these principles. You got you. You have to become your best self. You have to stand. Each and every one of us has to stand as a shining example of what it is to be American. You know, people like crime think come to power because they are fed up with the American system, because they don't understand that the American system is different than the American founding principles, right? They think that the military-industrial complex is America. They think that these idiot politicians are America.

Groups like this are exactly what I am talking about. They're made up of people who, if they spent more time making themselves better and worrying less about the world, have the drive to make the nation better itself. It's just what it is. Crime Think. Check them out. I'm going to listen to their podcasts.

No doubt about it. Let's hear what they're all about. Maybe we'll get them on the network or I'll go on their podcast. That would be fun. It would be a fun conversation. Let's get into SHTF Chef. I got a little, I got a funny little something for you as we get into SHTF Chef. Pay very close attention pbn family now that is a delicious cut of long pork All right, PBN Family, SHTF Chef. We do not condone the cooking of the long pork, nor the consumption. It's a, I don't know.

I was thinking we need some intros to these little segments on PBN Daily News, and I don't know. That's a good one. I'll take it. I have a lot of fun creating these, man. I could spend all day doing this stuff if I had nothing else to do. So SHTF Chef, let's get into it. What do we want to talk about today? I have my mind set on a few things. I have been invigorated as of late by the spring season and what's coming, you know, what is all that is coming. And I think that maybe what would be worth talking about is mushroom cookery.

Yeah, foragers delight. Sure. Now foraging for mushrooms is incredibly dangerous and can ruin your entire life, if not a few days of your life, should you eat the wrong things. And I will caution you that eating the right mushrooms can also induce a nightmare. About five, six years ago, I found sulfur shelf for the first time. What's that hen or chicken of the woods? I always forget. I call it sulfur shelf just because it looks that way and it's easier for me to remember. Um, but I'm pretty sure that's chicken of the woods mushrooms. And I identified it. I found it running 90% of the foraged foods I find, I find running in the woods, which is why I always tell you, run in the woods, right?

So I found these on an oak tree after a big rain. It was massive. And I saw it, and then it died back as the summer heat, you know, drew in. And then another big rain came, and more blooms showed up, more. And this was before I'd ever eaten a wild mushroom at all except for wild morels. I've eaten wild mushrooms for many, many years as a chef, but this was the first time I ever plucked one out of the wild and said, let me eat it.

And what happened is I convinced myself that I ate the wrong kind of mushroom. It was very interesting. That evening, we were at the mall. I think we were getting the kids' shoes or something like that. We might even, I might have only had one kid at the time. I can't remember. But I suffered a near panic attack because I couldn't get my mind off the what if. I couldn't get my mind off the what if. off the what if. I couldn't get my mind off the what if. It wasn't sulfur shelve, even though I was almost 100% sure. I brought the book. I looked at the pictures. I looked at the mushroom. I watched it die. It came back the same thing. I took and I ate just a tiny, tiny little piece. You know what I mean? But my heart was racing. I was having stomach pains, very, you know, nothing big. And it was literally like anxiety.

It was the anxiety of the mushroom eating itself. And the idea that I might have killed myself or made myself sick. So that's an important piece of mushroom foraging you don't often hear, right? You hear like, don't eat the wrong mushrooms. You can eat the right mushrooms and literally drive yourself insane, worrying about whether or not you ate the wrong mushrooms, you can eat the right mushrooms and literally drive yourself insane worrying about whether or not you ate the wrong ones. But for the longest time, PBN family, mushrooms in general had been one of my favorite foods. I don't eat them as much anymore. I need to get back to eating them. I would lose my mind over morels and lobster mushrooms and black trumpet mushrooms. And I would just lose my mind over mushrooms. I was obsessed with fungus,

truffles, not a mushroom, but I was obsessed with truffles too. And they are a unique thing, you know? When you look at fungus and mushrooms, I often wonder if they're not alien themselves, but they're an amazing thing. I've never talked with the mushrooms before and I kind of want to do that. I kind of want to do that because I've always loved them. I've always eaten them. I've sought them out. I felt that weird like just total driving passion but I've never done psilocybin and really sat down and convened with the mushrooms before. I may do that one day. That might be worth. We've got a lot to talk about. I like their cousins a lot. You know what I mean? Everybody's like, what the hell is he talking about? Anyway, mushrooms are amazing, man. They're

incredibly nutritious. What are some things that people get wrong, I guess, with mushrooms? Uh, I see people soak them from time to time. You know, they will suck up a lot of water. Um, mushrooms can burn when you saute them. Uh, for me, you know, if you have earthy, delicious, wild mushrooms, they can't exist without fresh thyme, in my opinion. You know, more delicate mushrooms, I don't know. Honestly, I think they, butter and fresh thyme, you know, I worked for a chef who said where there is mozzarella, there should be tomatoes and basil. I think that's what he said. Or where there's tomatoes, there should be tomatoes and basil. I think that's what he said. Or where there's tomatoes, there should be mozzarella and basil. Something along those lines. Big

Italian chef. Great. Really, really good chef. I feel that way about mushrooms. Where there are mushrooms, particularly wild mushrooms, but even, you know, standard, what are they called? What are regular mushrooms even called? Button mushrooms. White buttons even are turned into something very special, sautéed in butter with fresh thyme. Now, the other beautiful thing about mushrooms that's important to know is the flavor can be concentrated. You can take, well, let's just talk about the truffle mushroom ravioli. Let's talk about that. That's worth talking about. And maybe you can do that because it is, huh? Oh, another, uh, I don't know about you guys, but

I don't know about you guys, but I have been getting like tons upon tons upon tons of fake PayPal stuff. If this order was placed without your permission or if you have any issues regarding the order, call our 24-hour hotline at the number below. Here's the number. Plus 1-W-812-0413-U0836. Tons of these emails from hackers and phonies through PayPal. But anyway, let's talk about the mushroom ravioli. From a restaurant called Rue 3, tremendous restaurant. One of my proudest moments as a young chef was getting hired over at Rue 3. I don't even think the restaurant exists anymore. book when I was 19 called The Diary of a Young Cook, and it was never really published or anything like that. I mean, I did publish it, and my family and friends bought it. You know what I mean? It was the book I published where I thought, like, I'm going to be famous. I wrote a book. I'm going to be a rich author. I can't believe it. I've done it. I wrote a book. And then you

publish it, and you're like, nobody buys this shit. I didn't know that. I thought if you wrote a book, everybody bought it. 19 years old. But I documented that getting hired and I was really blown away by it and excited and it was great for a short time. I didn't work there very long. You know, the facade of things drip off quickly when you're young. You're always looking for an idol. Anyway, what they did over at Route 3 is they would take five pounds of white button mushrooms. You could do the same thing in a large pot. They took one pound of butter. We use butter, like, insanely over there. Or maybe it was half. It might have been half a pound of butter. We use butter like insanely over there. Or maybe it was half,

it might have been half a pound of butter. And put the mushrooms right into the pot, stems, everything. Put the butter right into the pot, put it on low, and would cook this for like three hours. Stir it, you know, a little bit from time to time. But over low heat, the butter would melt, the mushrooms would slowly start to wilt and release their delicious essence. And what this restaurant was notorious for was they would take things that were delicious and puree them and do nothing to them.

And it always blew me away. You know, there was very little by way of recipe on certain items. Certain items could be created in such a way, and the ingredients themselves were so powerful and flavorful that it didn't even matter, right? So we would do just that with this mushroom ravioli. We would roast these mushrooms down for about three hours. They would go from being big, fat, white-button mushrooms down to like a brown, dark caramel brown sort of knob of a mushroom. And we'd dump it all into a blender, a high-powered professional blender, and blend that into a puree, like a delicious, thick mushroom puree.

And then we would stuff ravioli with it. And what made the dish, what took the dish to the next level was, of course, the ravioli, the mushroom flavor, the pasta was homemade, you know. And we would just create a little sauce, a little butter sauce, and finish that sauce. It would be broth. It would be butter. It would be peas and baby carrots, that kind of thing. I think we put some kind of green in it, arugula maybe at the end. And then we'd hit it with a little truffle oil and then toss the ravioli in.

And this dish was simple. This dish was astounding. And it was astounding because we used, we didn't use a fancy wild mushroom. We didn't use something magical. We, you know what, there were shiitake mushrooms in that sauteed mix of vegetables. Now I remember it, but we didn't use a bunch of wild, crazy mushrooms. We use the most regular mushroom of them all, the white button mushroom. We cooked it. We enhanced its flavor just by reducing it. And then, yeah, it was phenomenal. Get into mushrooms, man.

Get into mushrooms. They are medicine. They are incredible flavor. And maybe even invest in learning how to forage. I would really recommend going to learning how to forage. I would really recommend going to a class to forage mushrooms. The only reason I forage mushrooms, you have to understand, I've never been professionally trained how to forage mushrooms,

but I do eat wild mushrooms. The only reason I do that is because I spent years around mushrooms. You know what I mean? Like years upon years. I had a passion for seeking out these wild mushrooms like I was talking about and buying them. So I bought them. I owned them. I cooked them. Oyster mushrooms, I bought. Morels, chanterelles, these are things that I would spend my last pennies on as a young chef to cook at home because I was just so in love with this stuff. So I've got a big background.

Like when I pick a mushroom up and say, is that a chanterelle mushroom? Hell yeah or hell no. It's not that hard for me to look at it and figure out because of the fact that I spent so many years with it. And now I read foraging books on top of it, right? So now I've learned sort of the ins and outs of the lookalikes too. All right?

So that's it shtf chef our final segment brief segment i'm not going to run any kind of sound we're just going to get right to it i think it's a good it's a good short bit of reading it's by yours truly. It's from Darker Trails. Fun book. You should check it out. By James Walton. It's just a three-liner. It's a three-liner, but I think it explains a lot. And this is how we'll end today's 40-minute podcast. Oh, my God.

I've got to get to work. This is work. Why do I say that? This is work. This do I say that? This is work. This is what I do. I oftentimes do that. Like there are things outside of this that I need to be doing. No, this is what I need to be doing.

A man should know many ways. The fool knows them all. To live well is to make old paths new. Thank you, PBN family. Quick question. When's the last time you practiced with your firearm?
