You're listening to PBN. You're paying back the stability here. Ah, the common ground of self-reliance and independence. Welcome back, PBN Daily News. Do you want to do this live? Should we do this live? I don't know. I think Monday through Wednesday I could do this live, 8.30, without issue. The reprioritization of PBN Daily News.

It's nice. It's fun. It's good to connect with you first thing in the morning. It's good to see people waking up. It's good to see people taking their survival into their own hands. Focusing a little more on what's growing instead of what's in the headlines. Focusing a little more on the things that matter in life. Really, it's just like we've been cast out to sea and lost for a while. And now all of a sudden we can see land on the horizon. Oh my god, there's land ho!

Land ho! Back to the things that matter right oh my god they're land ho land ho back to the things that matter oh my god cowardice i don't know i don't feel like doing a diagnosis of the uh the times at the moment i feel really good about being in this position as a uh as a voice for what is the greatest common ground of all, which is survival. All over the country, it doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what color your skin, it doesn't matter your sexual orientation. When it comes down to prepping, which I've said since 2018,

it is the great common ground. And the worse things get on the planet, the better, the more common ground opens up for this conversation. It's time. It's time for people to start clawing back their sovereignty from, you know, the supermarket. It's no one's fault. It's so easy to blame somebody. It's so easy to be like, well, yeah, they made it too easy.

They screwed it all up by canning up all the corn. Like, no, it's not that. You know? It's you. If you can start with that, you're on the right path you know if you can wake up every day without medication and say it's my fault then you're on the right path i just don't know why people can't handle it looking at themselves and going like oh i could do better there's nothing wrong with that i could do better you could always do a little better there's nothing wrong with that. I could do better. You could always do a little

better. There's nothing wrong with where you're at. And in fact, even if you're at the bottom, it's better. Oh, it's way better to be at the bottom. It's way better to look out across your life and be the guy who's like, I haven't taken this prepping stuff seriously at all. Like I thought these people were lunatics. And now here I am starting from zero, right? That's an awesome place to start because anything you do today is going to make a world of difference. Anything, anything that you do today as a prepper, if you haven't been at, had done any preparations whatsoever, you could walk around your home and familiarize yourself with the systems and the shutoffs and the fuse boxes and the, you know, those sorts of things, if you don't

already know them, and make huge leaps in preparedness, right? You could go spend $10 on canned vegetables and be in a way better off situation than you were. You could go, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't recommend it. Well, I would recommend it, actually. Put up food any way you can. Who cares at this moment? You look out at your backyard, it's like a leaf-covered nightmare. You didn't rake once.

The leaves are like up to your ankle. And you're thinking to yourself, how am I ever going to turn this into a food producing plot of land? I mean, just the very thought of it, just the very sketch that you do, the very planning of it, you know. So yeah, that's the way I look at this you know it's not that i'm interested fundamentally in harvesting listeners from everywhere on in the world um but i do find that the people that i meet through instagram my instagram lives that are from different parts of the world are all very cool you know what i mean they're very cool that's because most people are very cool most people who have most people are very cool. Most

people who have been socialized to some degree and didn't have parents that were totally insane and kept them away from people, you know, even people who had parents that were totally insane and like beat them relentlessly or punish them to the maximum. They're usually pretty cool too. Do you know what I mean? The isolation The isolation is what's gotten us It's what's gotten us PBN family But whatever Who cares about the boogeyman of the day?

I don't I'm watching the sun come up on a 70 degree day today In Richmond, Virginia I'm watching the world through my windows come to life Spring has sprung It's a beautiful thing. And there's nothing but glory ahead. Nothing but glory ahead, right? Planting of plants, the watching of perennials coming back to life, the grabbing of foraged wild foods and wild medicines. You know,

you probably have a dogwood tree right now that's getting ready to burst into the most beautiful. Those white flowers that spawn off the dogwood with their green little center and the... Well, there's a photo in one of my books, actually. That dogwood bark, man, that's medicine. That's medicine. It's crazy, but it is.

Dogwood, very common. Very common trees. Get to know the world. If anything today, get out a calendar, get out a notebook and write down some dates and some commitments for getting into the world, the actual world. Do you know what I mean? Not going from one human-made structure

to the next human-made structure to do a thing that you could take pictures of and put on social media. But commit to some dates where you can go out into the world and see the world and be the world. Because you are the world. Right? People are destroying the planet. People are the planet, dummy.

People are the most incredible thing the planet's ever made. Or God's made, or however you want to look at it, right? I can't go down that path. I can't do it. I'm not sure what we're going to do for the I Am Liberty show tomorrow. But today there'll be some great shows. I'm on the fence about doing a dedication to Akira Toriyama.

If you don't know who he is, he's the creator of Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball Z died over the weekend. It's a big deal for a guy like me. You know what I mean? I saw like a thousand people in Peru or something like that celebrating this guy. It's pretty wild. But, you know, if you're not into it, then you're not into it. But if you were into it, then you know.

We used to call it the soap opera for men. That's what we looked at it as in high school. Which was kind of a hard thing to come by in those days. But that's really what Japanese manga is a lot of times. It's like a step up from comic books. I don't know. Maybe not. Who knows? Let's get into it. One threat, one solution.

I'm glad to be here with you folks. It's spring. Get a list. Get a nice big cleanup and QA list. I just QA'd my bug out bag over the weekend. I may go through that with the members. It's always fun to look through the bug out bag and see. The bug out bag really is a metric for how far you've come.

And if you get it, then you get it. If you don't get it, then stay tuned to PBN, okay? Let's do one threat, one solution. I've got the gray man brief open before me. Civil unrest, societal collapse, and citizen action. And what's interesting about this is I've never seen so much citizen action, civil unrest, protest from the other side. Usually these reports are filled with different locations in different cities all across America and things that make you cringe. But it's very rare that you see in Compton, California, residents marched in opposition to homeless encampments and RVs along roadways and residential areas.

Protesters held signs that read, we demand our sidewalks back and no RVs. Greensboro, North Carolina, Richmond, Virginia, 30,000-plus rallied in support of Trump. I know a lot of people get weak in the knees at that idea. March 16th now, four days away, which I wish people wouldn't promote these things so widely because it's just going to create problems. In Los Angeles, California, pro-family activists, I see this collection of words a lot, pro-family activists associated with Protect Kids California,

White Rose Resistance, Leave Our Kids Alone, public school exit, and Our Watch will rally at Glory Church to support the Protect Kids of California Act. The measure will repeal the California law that permits male students to compete in female sports and male students to be in female locker rooms and bathrooms. The measure will also prohibit schools from deceiving parents about their students' gender identity. Crises. Stop them from secretly transitioning a child and stop sex change operations and chemical castrations on minors.

This is in Los Angeles, by the way. I want to fly there. I would like to see that. I would like to be a part of that. But don't have children. They're a drain on society. Because then we can much easierly... Easierly?

You're much easier to manipulate and brainwash when you have no skin in the game. But I do have skin in the game. I want to save the planet. I love the planet. Mm-hmm. Have a kid. Anti-illegal immigration protest in New York.

Anti-illegal immigration protest in New York. 300-plus protesters held a shutdown illegal migrant shelters rally while calling on citizens to vote Republican IOT to vote out decision makers who allow the city to be overran. Yeah, things are happening. So what's the threat? Well, the threat, of course, is... Whoa! I don't know where that came from.

The heavens just burst out of me in a serious stretch. The threat is civil unrest, you know, and I'm really kind of not sure how these things are going to all play out. It's easy for people to see both sides of ginning up and say, oh, it's civil war. It's bound to happen. But I don't know that that's the case. You know, when you see these New Yorkers gathering together, when you see people in L.A. gathering together over these issues, it's a different thing. Parents are changed people. You're talking to a guy who has or you're listening to a guy who has, or you're listening to a guy who has changed his entire career and way of life really on the back of having a child.

I mean, that really was the linchpin for me. So brief, be fruitful and multiply, PBN family. How come we are searching for answers all the time? We don't ever understand what we're searching for. We don't know that the answers are right there in front of us. Should I have kids? Should I not have kids? We don't have the money. Be fruitful and multiply.

Pretty old, pretty old advice. Pretty old advice that came up through times that were much more terrifying and terrible than they are today. Imagine, be fruitful and multiply, knowing that half of the children that you birth are going to die. Right? Like, child mortality was a problem. Right?

So the threat is, of course, civil unrest. And there's not a whole lot you can do about it. People are going to stand up. You may find yourself standing up in some of these events. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I mean, we are a nation that allows for that, first and foremost, in our Bill of Rights. I also think that the counter-prot protests are important to the people who are perpetually protesting um to remind people what what a passionate public actually looks like right

i mean i see like you remember the show daria i might not remember the show daria but there was a girl named daria who always talked like this and and she was a spinoff character from Beavis and Butthead, I'm pretty sure. And what I see anymore is these constant protests. They fundamentally lose that vigor. How could they sustain the vigor? We're going to protest for the rest of our life for 30 years and be as fired up as we were back in the heyday back in 2020 when we were disbanding police. I don't know. I mean, I could go into preparedness stuff.

I think that probably the most important thing you can do is learn how to learn what's going on in your area. That's the prep. You know, the prep for civil unrest, the solution for one threat, one solution is undoubtedly learn what's going on in your neighborhood, okay? And learn how to learn about that. The Broadcastify app is a very interesting tool. Twitter is a very effective tool, particularly when there's something going on, you know, a network of people in neighborhoods. The Nextdoor app is a great app for Intel at a small neighborhood or county level, right? But fundamentally keeping an eye on what's happening What is going to happen this weekend What protests, what events And so on and so forth

If you're looking to avoid The sandpaper reality That we have to live through right now Where everyone is uncomfortable Rubbing up against one another But we're not really Me and Chin talked about it on last night's show It was a great show

Gotta listen to it. Chin has the answers for 2024's election. You got to listen to last night's show. If I don't, who will? That was the title. But, you know, at the end of the day, folks, we're all going to be challenged with one thing above all, and I think that's forgiveness. And that will be the great challenge of the near future as people look

around and go man it was really nice to sit around and sip cabernet and eat uh you know puff pastry wrapped brie cheese and talk to people about how progressive we all are and how great it is that we're a sanctuary city, and while those stupid racist Republican Southerners can't get it wrapped around their head that they need to be sanctuary cities too, it's so sad and a shame, those people are now coming to terms with their actions. They're now like, well, we got serious problems here.

We have to be in the forgiveness business. And largely because that's the only business worth being in. What else are you going to do as a people, don't forget, this is the success of the United States of America and all the people therein is one of your major goals. The progressive left wing have made it their goal to distract and destroy, right? And deter people from investing in the U.S. and even Americans understanding the value and the importance and the wonder of their great nation. We can't be dumb like that. And I don't mean we as in only the right. I mean we as in you listening.

Whoever's listening. that people are going to come to crazy conclusions about January 6th, vaccinations, 2020 elections, Black Lives Matter. I mean, some of these die-on-the-hill ideas. As time goes on, a lot of this stuff is going to, the truth of a lot of this stuff is going to come to light. People sewed themselves into lies because it was socially convenient. And I think there was a level of cowardice. And I think they were scared. Now, that's not an excuse. But I think that's a reality

And I'm telling you from your hip You should fire a cartridge of forgiveness Rather than I told you so Because it's just better for all Like look, you know You messed up. Whatever. What are you doing this weekend?

You want to bring the kids over? You want to go out and get something to eat? You know what I mean? Like there's more to life than staking everything on what happened at the Capitol and then living out the better part of your life, revisiting that. I mean, there's more to life than almost anything that happens in this world in a one-off situation. No matter how severe or crazy it was. So it's our job, PBN family, to be the forgivers.

That's it. And I mean, PBN family, to be the forgivers. That's it. And I mean, you know this, right? You are the Bible thumpers, the Bible readers. You guys know this. Many of you out there listening right now are the reason that I have become, to some degree, religious. You're definitely the reason I could say that i have a relationship with my creator so you know this you know this is the right thing to do this is the thing to do you know as people wake up and go you know illegal immigration is really a problem right it's our job to say

you're right you're right it is a problem uh We've got to put people in the office that can affect that problem. We have to be, you know, prepared to deal with the residual effects of that problem. We have to be honest about it. And look, this is what it is. You've been voting Democrat for 20 years in New York City. Well, longer than that, but, you know, you've been voting Democrat for 20 years in New York City. Well, longer than that, but, you know, you've been voting Democrat for your whole lifetime. Let's try something new, man. Let's try something new. Look, what's the worst that could happen? What's the worst that could happen?

We've got to be in the business of actual unity and forgiveness. That's all. That's my one threat, one solution for the day. I hope you enjoyed it. Now let's talk about fresh pasta on SHTF Chef, shall we? Now that is a delicious cut of long pork. Now the heaviness of a saucy pasta doesn't oftentimes resonate with the spring season. But to me, there is something about fresh pasta in springtime. It has a lot to do with a few things.

Filled pasta and pappardelle pasta. You may not know pappardelle pasta. I don't know. It's about an inch wide noodle. Fresh egg, semolina flour, olive oil pasta. We've talked about the recipe before. I could probably wing it. I mean, if I were to make it right now, I would go out there.

I would fill a bowl up with semolina flour. I would put some salt in it. I would add four to six egg yolks to it. I would glug, I don't know, olive oil for maybe three or four of those. And then I'd work the dough a little bit, you know, until I got, you know, slowly incorporate the semolina flour into the egg yolks and watch that dough ball kind of form. You know, I do things with my hand. I don't have a kitchen aid. I don't do that. I don't do that stuff. For what, right? The on-grid, off-grid balance. What am I going to have a kitchen aid for? Sure, if I get a kitchen aid

one day, then oh, wow, cool. This is a lot easier than the way I've been doing it, a lot more convenient. But I'm not in, I don't wake up every day looking for easy and convenient. So you bring that ball of dough together and then let it rest, you know what I mean? And well, work it until it's elastic and looks like it could be used to make pasta. You know, if it's wet and stodgy, it's not going to work. If it's over dry and crumbling, you need to add some water. It's not there. It's got to be elastic looking because you're going to roll it out, roll it out, roll it out. When you make fresh dough, fresh pasta, it's a gift this season.

What's one of the best raviolis you can make, man? Ravioli, tortellini, all these things, you can make these things by hand. They're not hard at all. You don't even need tools, right? You want to make a ravioli? You know how easy it is to make a ravioli? You just take a cup, maybe if you have like a high ball glass, and roll your pasta dough out and just cut circles. And then use egg yolk around the outs. Take your filling, put it in the middle, you know, a little bit. Tablespoon at max of filling in the middle of your ravioli circle. Take another circle of pasta, sit it on top, press it around the edges.

If you want to get fancy, you can use a fork and crimp the edges around, right? But use a little egg yolk so it acts as a glue. And you got a ravioli. You don't need a thing that presses them, a special cutter, you know what I mean? But there is something about these spring-filled pastas that I just absolutely love. There's something about ricotta cheese. If you want to do something fun, you can add a little lemon juice to your ricotta, I mean, to your whole milk and make your own ricotta cheese, right? You separate the curds in the way from your milk with a little acid. We're not going to go into that right now, but you can do that. It's not hard to do. It's one of the easiest cheeses you can make, really. And then what?

Then you take, this is the ultimate, in my opinion, spring ravioli. Take a good quality ricotta cheese. Slice garlic thin. You know, I don't know. Let's say you have a bag of spinach, right? We're going to make a spinach ravioli. Take a bag of spinach. It's a pound, something like that.

No, it's not a pound. It's probably eight ounces, something like that. Bag, big bag of spinach. Pot, sliced garlic. I don't know. At least three cloves, right? At least. Good olive oil in the pan. At least three cloves, right? At least.

Good olive oil in the pan. Cook your garlic on medium heat until it starts to smell like, oh man, that's garlic, you know? That's when you add your spinach. Add the spinach, cook it down. You're going to get a lot of liquid. Once the spinach is all cooked down and softened, I just put the whole thing in the colander and let it all drain out, all the excess spinach liquid and all.

Because I don't want watery filling. You know what I mean? Then you can just chop the spinach up once it cools down, mix it in with regatta until you've got it the way you like it. I don't know how you like it. You might want mostly regatta with a little bit of spinach. You might want mostly spinach. That's how I like it. I might want mostly ricotta with a little bit of spinach. You might want mostly spinach. That's how I like it.

I like a lot of spinach, a lot of garlic, just enough ricotta cheese to make a filling. You can add an egg yolk to that filling if you want, if you want a more solid filling, right? And then you go on to making your ravioli. And, man, that ravioli, you know, you just boil that ravioli up and do very little with it. One of my favorite things to do with the fresh-filled pastas this time of year,

it's what I do, ready? You take something like a green pea, put it in a pot. It could be frozen, could be fresh, whatever, but something like a green pea. Get it to the point where it's soft enough to eat, whether you're boiling it or whatever. And then just take butter. Slice thin the butter. Here's a way you could do it really easy.

Boil your ravioli, right? Let the ravioli come back to a boil, start to float, then dump in your half bag of frozen peas, whatever. And then from there, drain everything, add like two to three pats of good butter, toss it all in the colander, into a, you know, into bowls, onto plates, whatever, top it with a really good Pecorino Romano cheese or

Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated. What else? You know what I mean? What else do you want? That asparagus is popping out there in your garden? Grab some of those little baby asparagus, throw that in there with the peas, into boiling water same deal get it soft just just barely blanched you know what i don't want you know limp asparagus i want crunchy asparagus it's just been touched by boiling water drain it all add the butter flip flip flip flip in the colander top with some good cheese. Come on, man. That's a beautiful thing. That's a beautiful thing.
