You're listening to PBM. You're playing back the stability. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive

those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

PPN family, I'm 99% sure that that is the first time I've ever said the Lord's Prayer out loud. I never went to church. I don't think I've ever actually, I've read it, but I don't think I've ever actually said it. I've said pieces of it. I can't say that. No. He smiles upon me today. Let's go with that. Hopefully. Hopefully. So the convergence of the Lord's Prayer and the daily bread and preparedness and politics and the rise in people seeking a higher power, a higher purpose, a higher meaning, you know, in days like these where, oh God, these silly little battles that we fight each and every day, these silly personalities that we watch, people in sort of the trinket 3D printed world

that we live in, people are seeking a higher power and a higher meaning and a higher purpose. You know, we've come to realize that that which can be delivered is not sufficient. That which can be delivered within two hours is not sufficient for the human soul, right? In other words, your Amazon delivery will make you happy for a little bit, but it's not going to do it for you for a lifetime, right? The, oh, where's my problem? Where's my book on the profit? Hang on.

I want to say it another way. Just give me a second. I found something so cool. And I've talked about it already. And I think it's right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I found an illustrated version of Khalil Gibran's The Prophet that was retail at $19.99. But since no one knows what to read and they're busy reading like

50 Shades of Grey or whatever, books like this and amazing books like this wind up in the discount bin at Ollie's. You have to understand the profundity in that. You know what I mean? Some things, like the Lord's Prayer, are so simple, and when you read them, you go, oh, this is why we're screwed. Makes perfect sense. This is why we're in the boat that we're in. some of the most popular books. You look at what people are reading right here and now, and then you go to Ollie's, if you're unfamiliar, Ollie's is like a really cool discount store, and you find Khalil Gibran's The Prophet in the discount bin for $2.99,

an illustrated version that is somewhat rope-bound, really cool design book. And, you know, if nothing else, book. And, you know, if nothing else, if nothing else, the prophet is a collection of, it's basically a story of a man who comes to town, comes to this town, and the townspeople ask him questions, like fundamental questions about fundamental pieces of life. Now, there's a story that runs in tandem with this that's illustrated that is kind of cool, right? But the townspeople, basically the prophet comes to town and the townspeople all ask him, you know? And it's all sort of derived like this.

Then said a rich man, speak to us of giving. And he goes through it. Speak to us of love. Speak to us of God. Speak to us of passion. of love. Speak to us of God. Speak to us of passion. Yeah, and the priestess spoke again and said, speak to us of a reason and passion, of reason and passion. Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield upon which your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite. That's not what I wanted to read you. Actually, the most, one of the best quotes is on the back of the book.

This is a $3 book, PB and FEM. $3. It has more answers than four years of college. Do you understand? Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, to read through The Prophet, will do more for your life than four years of college. I promise you. You know? I promise you. But this explains why we are where we are. Pleasure is a freedom song, but it is not freedom. It is the blossoming of your desires, but it is not their fruit. This is where we're at. perpetually freedom chasing. Now look, I'm just as guilty as

anybody else, trust me, because when I get done here, I'm gonna go hop into the virtual reality realm and put in some time. Because today, my inner nerd is quivering.

They just released the Batman Arkham Shadow game, which is a virtual reality Batman game. So it's not me to sit up here and say, I understand the way and I only follow the way like Miyamoto Musashi. No. But we have to at least be able to recognize the fact that, you know, we are this sort of—we have reached a point in society where pleasure-seeking takes a vast majority of our time. That's what screen time is, right? Pleasure-seeking. Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. Ooh, I like that.

Scroll, scroll. Show me more that I like, you know? Give me a little more. Give me another hit. Give me one little more something. A little more pleasure. A little more something. me another hit give me one one little more something a little more pleasure a little more something and uh you know it it that turns you into a compulsive creature and compulsion is

probably the thing that we need to fight the most in our society in terms of like your own personal behaviors like your own personal behaviors are probably dictated much more by compulsion than you know. The biggest test, here's the biggest test. The biggest test to wonder whether or not you're compulsive or overly compulsive or something along that line is just to go sit on your front step

with a coffee and sit there. Don't worry. Try not to worry. You're going to think, right? Your meditation will tell you don't think about it. Clear your mind. Oh, sure, yeah, no problem. Think about one thing.

Just one thing. Make it the best thing. Think about your child, you know, and just think about them and how grateful you are. I find that gratitude can keep me focused the most. Once you can learn to focus like that, or the battle that you have in trying to focus like that will start to teach you, oh, I've got a lot of compulsive behavior. I've got compulsion a hold of me. And that's what it comes from. It comes from this on to the next thing, on to the next thing. That was fun. What's the next thing? That felt good. What was the next

thing? The next thing, next thing, next thing, right? And then you add to that the daily stresses and the things that have to get done and the compulsion to get those done. Give us this day our daily bread, PBN family, because we can work that into our life, and we will work that into our life. That is the challenge, the challenge for the next 30 days. It's the 22nd of October, so we'll just say the 22nd of Thanksgiving. Let's just say Thanksgiving. Let's just go to Thanksgiving. Why not? Give us this day our daily bread, the giving thanks challenge, if you will, right? Now, that's more than a month, so that's five weeks, okay? And that's a tall ask. I spoke to you about it in passing, but today it's official, okay? So kick off today, kick off tomorrow. We don't have to have a hard

start since we're going to extend it out to Thanksgiving. Why not? I've delayed it enough. We might as well. Give us this day our daily bread challenge is a simple challenge, and it is my challenge to you, and I'm going to tell you the things that will help you understand too. Number one, the challenge itself is to make a bread dough every day. It's to make bread every day. Not even necessarily a bread dough, but to make bread every day. Quick breads included. Okay. What are quick breads?

A pancake is a quick bread. Don't be making pancakes for the next five weeks and saying you did something. Okay. Especially not out of a box. But biscuits, quick breads, pumpkin loaves, zucchini breads, those kind of things are quick breads also. Quick breads are essentially breads that are leavened using baking powder, baking soda, okay? Soda bread, that kind of stuff. There's nothing wrong with this. This is phenomenal food. It's delicious food. There's sugar in it. Yeah, it's dessert-ish. Who cares? Okay, work hard. Work hard, work out, and then you don't have to worry so much about eating a piece of pumpkin loaf. You know what I mean? Prepper Fit and Health, PBN family. Bread every day. Bread every day till Thanksgiving. By your hand.

Mixing bowl, whatever. Share the duty with your family. I might do that. I might actually test my children on that. That way I can get a day or two off a week. Hey, you guys make some bread tonight. It's the bread challenge. Loaves of bread, braids of bread, pretzels. Make a pretzel, dude. A soft pretzel is not that hard to make, and I've done really good with homemade pretzels in the past. They have to be dipped in a caustic soda in order to work properly. So in other words, you make your pretzel dough and you can bake them straight off. You can, you know, douse them in butter or

something like that. But to really do them right is to take baking soda and water and bring it to a simmer. And then to actually dip your pretzels into that mix, right, and flip them over and dip them. You're not cooking them. It's just a quick in and out. But make sure it's well covered. And then once they're wet like that, then you salt and then you put it into the oven. How do I know this? Because I used to manage a pretzel bakery, okay?

We did not use baking soda to do this, all right? We used a different caustic element. I forget what it was called. But anyway, bread every day. Pizza, that's bread. You make a pizza dough, you roll it out, that's bread, right? You make a cinnamon roll in the morning for the kids on Saturday, that's bread. If it's leavened or if it takes yeast to rise, baking soda to rise, baking powder to rise,

it's either a yeast-risen bread or a quick bread. Biscuits, cornbread, all that kind of stuff. I want you to make bread every day by your hand from now until Thanksgiving. That's the challenge, you know? You're not going to get anything from me. Nobody's winning it. It's not a win or lose thing. Nobody's going to get a medal for the best breads made. There's no real pressure other than just do it because you're going to learn some things real quick. First of all, and listen, for those of you who've never made bread, this is the perfect time.

I'm not as interested in people who are making bread a few times a month or once a week or whatever. I'm not interested in the bakers getting the most out of this, though you will get something out of this as well. But for the people who are like, I've never made, I've never even messed with a packet of yeast. I have no idea how to do that. I have no idea how to get started.

Maybe I should do a video this week, do a yeast risen bread. It's very easy. You know what I mean? It comes down to your ability to follow a recipe, your ability to be patient and careful with your yeast, and your ability to knead and dedicate the time to kneading, you know, and also giving it a good place to rise, a warm area to rise, and moist. So these are things that you can do.

That's all there is to it. You will learn things in a month about yourself. Number one, where's my time going? Right? Like, I need eight minutes to knead this dough. If you tell yourself, I'm too busy to make the bread, you need about, I'd say you probably are going to need about 12 to 15 minutes to make a yeast risen dough in the early days, right?

We'll go 20 minutes. Then you're going to bake it for an hour, but what, you know, well, you're going to rise it, then you're going to bake it, you know, and once it's in the oven, while it's rising, you can leave it then, you know, it's better to leave it when you know, and once it's in the oven while it's rising, you can leave it then. You know, it's better to leave it when it's rising. Leave it the hell alone. Leave it the hell alone when it's baking. So what we're talking about is a time commitment of about 20 minutes, okay? And that's really it. So the other thing you're going to learn is do you got enough flour and sugar and yeast to do this? That very quickly will be a food storage benefit for you. In other words, you'll get 10 days in and go, I've used all the

flour. You know, because you're going to use four to six cups of flour every day. I've used all the flour. And this is incredible for you to know. Why? Because one of the things you should have planned to do in your life, particularly when food either gets scarce or when we're in a collapse situation or whatever that is, hard times, you should plan to bake bread every day. Why? Well, first of all, we're going into the cold months. I did this the other day. I baked up some pumpkin cookies, number one, because I wanted them, number two, because it was cold in

the house and I didn't turn the heat on yet. We had the fireplace going. It was still a little chilly. This is the way we used to do things. Women would do this. They would bake, you know what I mean? They put the oven on. The oven gives off heat. Put the oven on. Bake something. So you're going into these cold months. You turn your oven on. You use that. You use off heat. Put the oven on. Bake something. So you're going into these cold months. You turn your oven on. You use that. You use that heat. You're baking bread.

But also then you have food immediately. Right now we have food that comes from next to nothing. But bread is the staple of humanity. You know what I mean? Fundamentally in a lot of regions of the world. Not the rice-eating regions, but, you know, other regions of the world. Middle East, Europe, Americas. So what this challenge will also do is test your resources. It'll test your food storage. You'll be able to very quickly say, if I'm living in this fantasy where I'm going to

bake bread all the time, then I'm going to need more of X, and I'm going to need more of Y, right? And this is so important. Because once you identify this at a time like now, well, then you can fix it. You can repair it. You can say, I need to store more flour. I need to store more sugar. I need to store more yeast. I need to figure out how to catch yeast from the air, which is not hard to do. I need to make a sourdough starter like Garden Girl. So this is another huge, not just learning the skill, but also understanding the resource drain on the skill, right?

And then probably the third benefit of all will be figuring out what your people like. So in other words, do they dig your straight up and down flour, yeast, salt, olive oil bread? Does your family go like, man, it's good. Make this all the time. I really like having this around, you know, or do they prefer, you know, it's seasoned up with cinnamon and sugar. Do they prefer it seasoned up with garlic and Italian herb? You know, what are the preferences in your house when it comes to bread baking? Because now, again, another food storage 101, now you're not

just doing a thing to do a thing with food. You're doing what people in your household like, right? They don't like the zucchini bread. Maybe they love the pumpkin bread with the allspice. Maybe they love the apple bread. Maybe they, you know, whatever it is, there's a million breads. Really, the best thing about baking quick breads and yeast risen breads is when you can get the base down and start playing with the base. Right. Like so now I have this great base dough. What can I do with it?

You can do get as creative as you want. So, yeah, give us this day our daily bread challenge, okay? It's a big deal. It's a big part of what I want to offer you guys from now until Thanksgiving. It's right around the corner, folks. It's right around the corner. Let's get into One Threat, One Solution. You're not going to be happy. All right, folks. Real quick side note. SpaceX has filed an application with the FCC seeking approval to modify its Starlink Gen 2 satellite internet network to achieve gigabit speeds.

This is very interesting. I would like to see what the FCC does with public enemy number two, Elon Musk. That'll be interesting, even though he just saved the day over there in western North Carolina, at least from a communication standpoint, right? But what I want to talk to you about today is the solution is tough here. The threat is viable. I start wondering how much money can we pull from the Treasury before it becomes an act of war. In other words, let me read you the story. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the greatest loan officer of all time, Lloyd Austin, the greatest philanthropist of our time, visited Kiev, Ukraine, to announce a brand new $400 million military aid package, including artillery, armored vehicles. Why can't I get some armored vehicles and anti-tank weapons? All I just want one. Lloyd, deliver me one

armored vehicle. I'll put Batman decals on it. This visit, Austin's fourth money dump to Ukraine, underscores continued U.S. support amid Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. Austin discussed Ukraine's defense strategy and long-term military needs with Voldemort Zelensky. The U.S. has provided Hold on. This is creating a stutter in me right now. The U.S. has provided $61 billion in security assistance since the conflict began. $61 billion. Can you imagine? We have problems in a nation. We have financial problems in a nation.

There are people out here struggling in this nation. And we've given the Ukraine $61 billion to be obliterated. Fundamentally, right? We dumped $61 million so that they could be chewed up in the Warsaw of Russia's military. Now, the only benefit to me is I get to look at my child and understand that, you know, I've spent $61 billion that my nation has in order to keep him out of a war with Russia, because I don't think, I think at least in his lifetime, maybe not my grandchildren's, but at least in his lifetime, the Russian military has been decimated to the point where I don't see American soldiers fighting Russian soldiers on a battlefield anywhere. In a large scale, like we all got to go do this for the sake of the nation.

Who's calling uh so 61 billion in security assistance since the conflict began ukraine also announced that the u.s will provide a separate 800 million dollars for for drone production that's separate now okay so 400 million military aid 800 million separate drone production. So the real deal is just another billion. It's another slick way to get another billion dropped into the lap of Voldemort. And I wonder when I think about Voldemort, you know, Russia killed itself in Afghanistan, right? America killed itself in Afghanistan. Right? America killed itself in Afghanistan. Are we killing ourselves in Ukraine?

When does the government that you don't agree with give away so much money that you can say, well, maybe this is an act of war in and of itself? Do you know what I mean? I think that's quite the concern. I think that is quite the concern in all honesty. PBN family, it's been a great show. I want you to, we're adding a

new segment to PBN News, okay? And it is to direct you to some great video content. And this great video content is going to be available in our newsletter as well. All right. And it comes from one of our incredible listeners, That Nub. There's a YouTube channel, L2Survive. Okay. I'm going to link to this video down in the description in particular. That Nub makes these videos. He does a tremendous job on reviewing

a variety of things, tons of great information. The video I chose for you today is the Power Roll Rechargeable Lithium AA Batteries with Charger. This is, I have a charger right next to me with batteries stacked up on top of it I need to recharge these things are i mean you got to have one of these okay you have to have a rechargeable battery system for flashlights you have to have a rechargeable battery system for radios potentially for lighting it's it's all great okay l2 the letter l the number two, survive at YouTube. If you want to go check out the full scope. If that's too complex, scroll down into the description,

and you can get to see his review of the Power Roll rechargeable lithium AA batteries with charger. I'm telling you right now, man. You know what I use them a lot for, to be honest with you? To save money, because video game controllers take AA batteries. And I'm buying AA batteries all the time. And I said, you know what? Let's get some of these rechargeable batteries. That way, you know, AA, AAA, whatever we need, we can make that happen.

A lot of flashlights run on AAA. You can even get, you you know cr123 rechargeable and a recharging station and all that but go down description to below check it out l2 survive all right this is not a review by some wingnut we don't know this is one of our very own from here in the pbn family l2 survive over at YouTube, or check the description down below and give our man a like and a follow and all that kind of stuff. You know, we have to support our own here at P.B.N. It is essential, and you guys do a tremendous job. I try to do a good job for you as well.

It's a busy life. You know what I mean? Just is what it is. So give us this day our daily bread. Join the challenge. Start baking today. Just make a big old rolled baguette. Give it a whirl. One of the secrets to a good baguette, I'll tell you. When you start it, you know, when you finally form the baguette, which is a process of rolling the dough out and then rolling it on itself,

and it will look a lot smaller than it's going to. Just search up a YouTube video. One of the secrets, though, is when you put it on a stone or a cast iron sheet or baking sheet, whatever you use, spray the oven with some spritz, okay? Spray the oven with some spritz like of water and get a little steam in there, okay? And you could do that a couple times and it'll help give you a good crust on that baguette.
