Have Holly Jolly....to early?@PBNLinks | Linktree

Welcome in PBN Daily News, Friday, 11.17, audio only. Your path back to stability right here, the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Your path back to stability. Have we left stability? What do you think? I don't know. Look around. Look around the world.

You tell me. Is this the stable sort of life that you imagined when you were a little kid riding on the front of your buddy's bike or holding on to his shoulders while you were riding on his pegs? No, I don't think so. So here at PBN, we desire to bring you back to that state of stability. And the goal is for you to become that powerful fortified island

and then to spread like a virus to everyone around you, right? Sort of a bottom-up struggle, but one that, from my experience, is alluring to those around you, and the darker times get, the more alluring it becomes. Listen, today is going to be a little different. A little. It's PBN Daily News. It's going to be a little different, but it is what it is. Audio only, as I said. No green room for you, the listener. What I want to talk about is not necessarily a preparedness tip, but it's more of a monologue around this Osama bin Laden letter to America.

I can't understand why it was disappeared. It's never, when you, when hate speech exists, and it can be directly tied to an individual, just so you know, it's never good for it to go away. Like you might think like, oh, shield your eyes. Shield the public's eyes. It's never good. Hate speech, particularly important when it's linked to people. Hateful acts, all that kind of stuff, that terrible stuff nobody wants to see.

It's the most important stuff to see and read. What's happening across the nation right now with the anti-Semitic rallies? Which is what it is, right? The people who told you to punch a Nazi in 2017 are now gathering in mass, talking about punching Israelis. And you come to realize that this is just— I was talking to my neighbor about this yesterday. It's just, I just want to punch somebody.

I'm upset. I'm miserable. I'm resentful. My life isn't going the way I thought it would. I have to work for a living. I can't believe it. I thought I was going to beat Angelina Jolie, and it didn't work out that way. So now I want to hit somebody.

Now I want to beat somebody up online or in person. And the way I'm going to do that is by defining my enemy daily. Yeah, whatever. Just whoever. One day I hate the Nazis, the next day I hate the Jews. We'll kill them all. And it's fundamentally because that's where this kind of thinking winds up. It winds up in everybody dead. That's the only way you can go. When you live on hatred and resentment and the judgment of others, particularly the judgment of others, right?

The core of the social war, the cultural war that we're living in right now is all based around the judgment of others. And that is largely what socialism and what communism, it's the core of what they do and it's the reason that they fail because it's prejudice fundamentally i know it's crazy because only the capitalist mean nasty capitalist white people are supposed to be prejudiced. But listen, if the very existence of something like communism and socialism are not prejudice, I don't even know how you define that word.

If you're not prejudging people in a socialist and communist society in order to say, well, we have to be equitable, and I can tell, I can prejudge you based off your background and know you're doomed. So we're going to have to give this amount of resources to you, take this amount of resources away from that person, because I've also prejudged them based on their skin color or their class or their bank account. Based on their skin color or their class or their bank account. So you have to see this heinous stuff out in the light. Why does something like this take root though? Why?

Why do you get stupid idiot people on TikTok and all that? First of all, this virus that has flooded the nation, this anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-life virus, is not as big as you think. It's pockets of people. It's pockets of people, okay? And the only reason that it's getting as big as it is is because we fundamentally people are busy number one number two there's no counter story right now in the world there's no counter argument there's no counter group other than we're gonna show up and fight them right or whatever there's no real movement to define what America is today. What's America?

Well, it's an evil colonist, slave-keeping empire that goes around the world and subjects poor, downtrodden people to its rule. Fundamentally, that's the American story, right? Who the hell wants to defend that? Now, that's so crazy, right? Because that pulls from, that's the definition of America in a lot of people's minds, right? But that pulls from like four different points in American history, right? It points to like six, seven different points in American history, right? It points to like six, seven different points in American history to define America as that. I want you to use the commander's logic now, all right? What is my logic towards you? My logic towards you and towards myself and towards the people that I love

is you really want to know who you are. You really want to know who you are. I've defined it very simply. You are what you do every day. Okay? If you've never heard me say that before, I want you to really think about that today. You're not what you think you are. You're not the terrible things you might have done in the past. You're not the great things that you've done in the past either. That's a part of you. But you are what you do every day. And that's such a powerful thing for you to understand. Because when you admit it, and when you understand it, that gives you all the power you could ever want. If I could just tell the green-haired people, you are what you do every

day. And you can become whatever you want because of that. What do you want to be? You know what I mean? What is it that you really want to do with your life? Once you start doing things that lead you to that goal every day, then you are what you do every day. It's inevitable. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. Nothing can stand in your way because you are what you do every day. Now, you might not be able to be, like, I want to be a famous author, right? Maybe that's your goal. Well, you should be writing every day. You should be an author. You should start writing a book. You should be writing each and every day, right? Because then you will be an author. And the only way that you can become the best author

is if you first become an author, right? So I started thinking about that in the context of America, because I see America every day. I live in a really cool place, you know? I live in a really cool place in Richmond, Virginia, where there are... It's just a diverse place. Do you know what I mean? It's one of the craziest places for diversity because there's a lot of liberals here, guaranteed. There's no getting around that. There's a lot of crazy people here. There's a lot of conservatives. There's a lot of Southern people here. This freedom experiment is accentuated in a place like Richmond, Virginia, because, particularly at a time like this, when you're standing in a schoolyard in central Virginia

and you're looking at your child running around with children of other races and demographics, and because of the nature of my kid's school, it's very much a mix, you are hit by this realization that, holy shit, I am standing in the capital of the Confederacy. I am standing in the capital of the Confederacy of the American Civil War. And what? What?

140-ish years ago, that's what this place was. And you look around and you go to yourself, you say to yourself, like, wow, this is what America is. This is what America does every day. You are what you do every day. This is what America does every day. We get through life together. Look at your job.

You know what I mean? Look at your job. Look at the groups that you go to. Look at the organizations you're a part of. Look at the college you went to. Look at what America does every day. the college you went to. Look at what America does every day. So we have to find out how to carry that message out to the public,

and maybe not totally to the public, because there's a lot of people who are smart and can look around and go, damn, this is pretty amazing what we've pulled off here in this country. This is pretty amazing what we've pulled off here in this country. But the reason that young idiotic people can read a letter from a guy who killed 3,000 of their people and go, I think he's got a point. Hold on. You give them Mein Kampf, they'll tell you. I think Hitler had a point. You got to remember, when you see somebody talking to their cell phone and going viral over saying something crazy, there's a good percentage of

them that just want to go viral. They just want to make it. They just want to make it. They want to make... And when you think about it, PBN family, wrap your head around this concept for a minute. They went to college because they got lied to and said, if you go to college, you're going to be fine. Don't worry. That's bullshit. They come out of college, they get a job, they got debt. Biden, please. You said you'd pay off my college. Those mean Republicans won't let you do it. So they come back to real life.

They got huge payments. They're working at Starbucks. People suck. They're fighting with them, arguing with them every day. And they look at social media. They look at likes. They look at shares. They look at follows.

They look at sponsors as my ticket out of this life. That's what they look at it as. So there's the pull to say something wild and to get people to go, we should post this video on NBC.com. Yeah, it's real. It's real, and it's a real motivation for a lot of people to be like, dang, I need to, yeah, I need to do this. I need to say some crazy stuff because then I don't have to work at Burger King anymore. So that's part of it. The other part of it is they cannot recognize that America is what it does every day, not what it has done.

It's not what the military has done. It's not what presidents who change every four years or eight years do. No, America is, just as you are, what it does every day. And what we do every day is wake up, drink coffee, go to work, drop kids off, have immense trust in one another, create the commerce and the workforce to allow the greatest nation of all time in more than one way to exist. To allow the world to witness what a nation can be at its highest level. Well, there's aircraft carriers that are shooting. There's people killing. Stop. You need to think about it. You need to think about your lights. You need to think about your running water. You need to think about the people who watch your kids during the day while you're at work. You need to think about all of the systems that we need to think about the truck drivers. You need to think about the fact that here in

America, you can walk into any store and buy food. Just buy food. Some stores you can walk in and buy hot food. You can just pull up to a restaurant To a drive-thru window And you get a delicious Burger Chicken sandwich Taco Whatever the hell you want At a moment's notice

It's more expensive than it has been But you could still get your hands on it Do you know what I mean? The only way that works Is American people get up Go to work every day And fundamentally believe in What it is that we're trying to achieve here. Schools are a mess, but your kids still, hopefully, can read, can write,

can reason to some degree. And if not, then you should be a part of that, right? You shouldn't be saying, the teachers, my kid can't even read. Okay, well, if my kid couldn't read and he was at the age where he, my kids both could read before they went to school, first of all. I think that's probably the best way to start them off. But it is what it is, right? We need a new story for America.

We can't allow the lunatics who pluck 20 different things from 20 different points of America's history and try to define the nation in such a way and omit all the amazing things that we've done to be the people who tell the story about America. Imagine if people did that to your life. And look, this is what these people do. This is what they do to you. They go, let me scroll through this son of a bitch's tweets. Oh, look what he said back in 2012. Look, right? I mean, this is judgment. Don't you understand? This whole movement is about judgment.

It's all about judgment. Why is it all about judgment? God, I wish these liberal people would listen to me. Let's pretend like they're listening. Why is your whole religion based around judgment? Your religion of cultural destruction? There's only one reason. A people would dedicate themselves to the judgment of others

and other nations and other leaders. Do you know why that is? Because successful people spend all their time judging themselves. Because they understand the path towards a better you, a path towards a better person, a path towards a better dad, a better husband, a better businessman, and a better community, and so on and so forth, all starts by the judgment of no one else but yourself. That's who you judge. You wake up every day and go, oh, what did I screw up yesterday? What can I fix? Huh? What am I lying to myself about? What do I need to get better at? What do I need to myself about? What do I need to get better at? What do I need to stop doing? What do I need to do less of?

What do I need to do more of? Where am I screwed up and how do I fix it? Now when you disappear that mentality from your life, you stagnate, number one, and then the only thing you can do is point fingers at other people. Well, I'm this way because of this. Well, these people are this way because of that. Well, this situation sucks because of them. What about you? You wouldn't even listen to my podcast. You wouldn't even listen to PBN.

If you could hear the conversations that I have in my own head with myself. Because they're brutal. I levy intense judgment on myself every day. And that's how we get this stuff done. Fundamentally. All right. Rant over. Let's move on. I've got more for you. Don't worry. One threat, one solution. All right. What do we got? One threat, one solution from the gray man brief.

Cybersecurity, national security. CISA released. Hold on, I'm getting just an onslaught of notifications the moment I pick my phone up. CISA released an update on Royal, formerly Conti, Russian-linked rebranding as Black Suit, advising that their ransomware attacks, quote, have spread across numerous critical infrastructure sectors, including but not limited to manufacturing, communications, healthcare, and public healthcare and education, end quote. The cyber criminal group has breached the networks of at least 350 organizations worldwide. It's since September 2022, demanding $275 million in ransom. Debrief. Infrastructure and critical services continue to be susceptible to remote cyber attacks. The continued proliferation and successes of ransomware probes, which are typically recoverable and limited, highlight the vulnerability to fifth-generation warfare or direct attacks.

The exchange of payment and intent of the attacks allow for commercial entities to resolve disruptions in days, leaving only privacy leaks as the lasting impact. If our infrastructure isn't safe from small cybercriminals, it should be apparent adversarial foreign government entities possess the capabilities to inflict more lasting impacts if they choose okay so fundamentally you know the world is uh vulnerable incredibly vulnerable to cyber attack dave jones has said many times a serious, damaging, debilitating cyber attack will likely be step one of a nuclear attack, you know, a larger nuclear operation. These are serious times, my friends. These are serious times.

These are serious times, my friends. These are serious times. I think at your level, at your level, obviously the sustainability of your survival headquarters, your home, maybe even your community, is the utmost of importance. because of a cyber... What are the big things you want to do with a cyber attack? You know what I mean? You want to shut lights off. You want to shut communications off. If you can shut water off, shut that off. If you can poison water, maybe poison it. It's all digital. If you want to stop the flow of resources to an area, all that, right?

So it's incredibly important that you be able to exist with all that stuff, without all that stuff. You have to be able to exist without it. From your own personal privacy standpoint, you can employ a VPN. I think what most people need to do is pay very close attention and conduct a little situational awareness online. You know, a little situational. Well, let me just read you what I got yesterday. I'll show you right now. Let me get into my text messages because I've got this is about the third time I've got this one, okay? I get a text message from... I'm putting them on blast,

whoever they are, even though it's way too... 639-955-008530, okay? USPS, the United States Postal Service, is with a dash in it, which is hilarious. The USPS package has... The USPS package has arrived at the warehouse and cannot be delivered due to incomplete address information. Please confirm your address in the link within two hours. USPS.USPSBP.COM. Enter the link in your browser. The US portal team, US postal team wishes you a wonderful day. I got that at 1.15 p.m. That's bullshit, okay? In case you were wondering.

There's a photograph with it and everything. That's a hacker. They're everywhere. Okay? They're everywhere. Remember my show on punishment? We don't know how to punish them. We could find them.

We'd leave it up to YouTube stars like Mark Rober to punish them. you don't know mark rober is go check him out it's pretty cool i watch it with my kids anyway so uh a little situational awareness online this is an environment this is an environment just like walking down a dark alley okay you got to look at it the same way alley. Okay. You got to look at it the same way. Now let's move on. SHTF chef. I'm going to wax to you a little bit. I don't have a recipe. I just want to talk to you about truffles. It's occurred to me. Now, some of you may be familiar with truffles. Some of you may be not. may be familiar with Truffle. Some of you, maybe not. I'd say from about 2007, no, before that, from about 2003 to about 2010, 11-ish, probably around 11, no, 12, probably about 2012. Wow, no, 12, probably about 2012. Wow, that's a long time. So probably from about 03 to about 2012, maybe even 13.

As a chef, truffles were a very important thing to me. They were very important. I mean, it was a, why were they so important? They were important because my idols used them. They were important because they were expensive. They were important because they were rare. They were important because in the pages of all the cookbooks that I drooled over for... I mean, you don't know how many times I opened cookbooks and opened cookbooks and read pages over and over again and read recipes over and over and over and over and over and over again. I mean, I have books up here on my bookshelf, like the French Laundry. The French Laundry cookbook is enormous. It looks like it's, it's looked like, the French Laundry cookbook by Thomas Keller looks like it came from a trench in Ukraine.

Okay? Because that book went everywhere with me. It went everywhere. It was opened every single day for many years of my life. And the black truffle and the white truffle were such a part of my life. I sought them out everywhere. I sought flavored oils out. I sought out canned truffles and jarred truffles and pickled truffles, whatever it was I could find, you know, until about 2009 when, no, 2008 when I got fresh truffles ordered for the first time,

and I just will never forget that, you know, taking them home, looking. And just so you understand, back in those days, you know, a fresh truffle was about $100, one truffle, $100. And it didn't even faze me. It was like, oh, this is it. This is finally, finally you got the real thing. You know, this is after years of chasing things down, and, you know, stores were just starting.

In that day and age, you could go to, like, the Fresh Market and different stores like that that were just starting to get truffle-related products in. Truffles are incredibly rare. They grow off of, they basically grow off the roots of inoculated trees, but they grow underground exclusively. There are hogs that are trained to dig them up in Europe, in Italy. Where do black truffles come from?

The most precious are the white truffles of Alba and the most valuable. But black truffles come from France. They come from Piedmont region in France. Okay. The best. The best ones. And they're tremendously aromatic, garlicky sort of, musky, and just an incredible flavor to add to cheeses, to eggs, to potato. I mean,

you talk about a truffle whipped potato. It's just astounding. Mac and cheese with truffle is a next level thing. A lot of people are dousing French fries in truffle oil. That's another great way to enjoy it. I always loved a good creamy, like a tagliatelle with truffle. Oh, the reason I'm bringing it up, it's not a cheap thing, but now's the time. Black winter truffles are built for the holidays. Do you know what I mean? It's an ingredient that you may have never played with It might be an ingredient

I know this day and age times are tough You're like, James, dude, I'm saving up for a.0 energy solar generator You're telling me to waste $100 on a fungus that grows underground in the dirt I'm not saying it I'm just the SHTF chef talking, okay? These are the times You want to get really crazy You can shave black truffle, okay? These are the times. You want to get really crazy, you can shave black truffle, okay? Stuff it under the breast of your turkey for Thanksgiving, under the skin,

and bake that thing. And oh my good God, it's magnificent. Typically, I wouldn't talk about a thing like this, but we're really at the point right now where people have to start thinking and planning and so on. What really stood out to me, this is what really stood out to me last holiday season. I don't shop at fancy supermarkets very often. I was at the Wegmans last Thanksgiving, or it could have been Christmas, I don't remember. And I was walking through the things that I'll go buy at a fancy supermarket with what I know. I always go there for fish, right? If you're going to get fish, really good, high-quality fish, you got to go to a place that has really good, high-quality fish. A lot of times they do.

Meat's not so much. I'd rather eat local meat than fancy aged meat from across the country. You know what I mean? I'd rather know that the meat comes from a place where I know. Now, a lot of those places have adopted that, and you know you can get it that way from places that you know. But anyway, neither here nor there. So a lot of times I'll go for that fine cheese necessity. You know,

if you really want to get into really good cheese, that's like a whole thing in and of itself. Maybe we'll talk about it one day on the SHTF Chef, but the world of fine cheeses is wonderful it's magic i'll tell you right now if you want to do something to yourself that's just obscene you can go out and buy a slice of humboldt fog's truffle tremor okay the truffle tremor is my favorite cheese on the planet it really is humboldt fog makes an incredible, I think it's a brie. I'm pretty sure it's a brie. But what they do is they put a layer of black truffle in it. And it's unbelievable.

Oh my God, it's unbelievable. So if you want to try a fine cheese, try Truffle Tremor by Humboldt Fog. Humboldt Fog makes great cheese regardless. But there's amazing stuff. I'm looking at the fine cheeses. We're at 30 minutes here, for God's sake. I'm so busy today.

And I see that sitting on a little disc, a little wooden disc covered by glass, in the cheese display is a medium-sized black truffle just sitting there. And I said to myself, wow, things have changed. Wow, this is at a Wegmans. Wow, things have changed. So if you want to try something like that, feel free, okay? Feel free. Get out there. Get out there, enjoy it. Do something like that. Do something fun for the holidays. I don't know. I don't even have a cookbook to sell you

that has the truffle recipes in it. Actually, I think you can buy the Seasons in the Valley e-book, which kind of does it no justice. It wasn't even built to be an e-book, so probably it's hard to read. But there's a lot of truffle recipes in that book. I wrote that book when I was like 21, maybe, something like that.

It's awesome. Don't get me wrong. It's an amazing book. I never talk about it. But it is what it is. All right, folks. I don't have nothing to read for you today, so we're not going to do our words segment. I do appreciate you.
