You're listening to PABN. You'll have back the stability here. Hello everybody. Good Monday morning to you. Got a lot to talk about here. First and foremost tough tariff talk The tariffs have been signed. They've been put in in effect and You know, it's kind of like what I've been telling you guys. Nothing is as easy as it sounds when it's signed in a black

Covered book and smile and picture and pen, you know what I mean? It's real weird. It's we're in a jubilant stage where things seem to be getting back to the way they're supposed to be, but it's not going to be without struggle. It's not going to be without consequence. And some of that consequence is going to be, you know, felt by us all. There's a couple of lines, well, there's, so Trump's made the argument for a long time that we get screwed in trade, right? We do a lot of producing of things. And I think what's going to be one of the things it's gonna be surprising with

The tariffs is people are gonna be surprised at how much American made goods affect people, you know what I mean? We because here in America we say well everything we use is made in China Right and you get set that sort of mindset that we don't make anything And you know it is what it is. I'm putting up an article that I just posted to my sub stack there's a link in it. Link in the show description below if you want to read it. I understand and appreciate all the stuff that is happening. And look we'd be we'd be in an absolute what's up l2 survive we'd be in an absolute nightmare if it went the other way if

the election went the other way but I think that the majority of things that happen whether or not you feel like they have to happen should happen that have been signed into executive order there There's going to be repercussions downstream. Micro and macro. Do you know what I mean? Micro and macro repercussions. More than Jay Fer, thanks for joining us. Brian, Kumi, Umi, Uri, Farm.

Did I get it right? No. Born to brat. I'm sorry. Born to brat. He says, I'm old enough to have tools in my garage that are made in the USA. Hey, you can make your own tools.

Check out HammerTalk, pbnfamily.com. Oh, Kumiyori's here too. I'm sorry, man, sometimes you pop in with your real name. I don't know if it's, you know. I'm gonna give you all a hint. If you come, if I meet you under an alias, you will always be the alias okay that's just the way that it is like what you'll tell me your real name we'll know each

other a long time you'll come up to me I'm always gonna call you your alias no matter who you are kumi or reform you'll always be kumi or reform Brian you'll always be born to brat it's how I deal with all the hosts everybody it just the first one that goes in is the one that sticks so Tariffs tough talk on tariffs, man So what's going on with tariffs from from our side of things? I think that's an important thing to start with right? Let's go down here. So this article I've written for the last three days. Executive order. Here's what we have to all be on the same page about.

The things that were written and signed and put into place. I want to go over them. I want to go over them at large just because there's a whole nother lesson in that. And it is this is how wacky shit was. This is how crazy it got that all these executive orders were put in place just to like unbend and straighten out common sense but executive orders are King are the King's work it's the opening line in my my latest post whether you like it or not this not how this nation was meant to run post. Whether you like it or not, it's not how this nation was meant to run. You know what I mean? It's not meant to be run this way.

But I do have a section in here. There are there's more than just tariffs in this article. These are the five things that I think you need to prepare for. Here are some of the things that stood out to me when I was sort of looking over What we could feel in terms of the 25% increase that Mexico has claimed they're gonna put on goods and Canada's claim they're gonna put on goods Oil gas probably in the short term maybe if we see that because you know, Donald Trump drill drill drill maybe if we see that because you know Donald Trump drill drill drill lumber cement avocados beef booze like both sides of the border booze on both sides of the border how about that and at Mexican agricultural products I put that because you know they grow a lot of our produce Mexico grows a ton of our

produce not as much as like California but they grow a lot of our produce Mexico grows a ton of our produce not as much as like, California But they grow a lot and it's it's important to recognize that Again there's this felt sense here in America that we fund the world and it's true and For me, it's always been this idea of like When does it become? Sl like, when does it become slavish? When does it become slavish? What is the percentage of tax that I pay?

What is the percentage of tax that we all pay to fund the world, right? Where it becomes a point where the average american sits around and goes like am I free You know what? I mean? We're gonna rebuild gaza Why You know, I I understand it's terrible

this really is the the crux of everything that's going to happen over the next four years that You're gonna struggle with you're going to struggle with and I'm going to struggle with. I mean, there are going to be like literal repercussions that are felt in the sense of prices and violence and it's all in my article. But what's the internal battle, sort of the moral battle inside is going to be, it's a tough one. It's an us-or-them sort of mentality, right? That's what this first round of tariffs kind of boils up in you And when you don't think about it on the personal level or when you don't have the feedback from

Persons then it's really easy to just say the feedback from persons, then it's really easy to just say, well, you know, we've been losing in the trade war for a long time, or the trade game for a long time, and we're fixing it. And it just is what it is, right? Good for us. Then you get a message from a long time listener, a couple of messages, handful of messages that humanize the tariff situation Now This is all for you to figure out You know what? I mean, this is all opinion. This is all sort of We the people right we have to figure out what this means to us and and how it's going to go

And if we're going to stay on this path Donald trump put it into He put it into play But let's see Kumey or he says Trump will negotiate a better trade deal with some added border controls and tariffs will be adjusted back down a more even-handed deal instead of being a doormat a Lot of what this guy does early on is heavy-handed and I think

you're 100% right. I think the Greenland talk, the Canada taking Canada talk, all that kind of stuff is his heavy-handed way to go into things. I'm not trying to persuade you one way or another on tariffs. You know what I mean? We got to let it play out see what the hell happens and all that kind of stuff But everything is a thing One of our listeners from Canada says we in Canada following, you know following our the are you feeling lucky one of our longtime members posted that the tariffs had been signed in our chat room and What was followed up was one of our Canadian

I don't want to say her name, but you guys if you listen, you know, you'll probably know who it is If you're in element in our chat room, you'll know we in Canada are so royally screwed. I room, you'll know. We in Canada are so royally screwed. I want to mention, like, it's not even angry per se. And I don't know what the Canadians' overall feeling is on this. I don't know if they feel like great America's being a dick, or if they're like, you know, true dough is just so ruined everything that we have to work through this type of thing. We in Canada are so royally screwed. Prep on. We are at the store today buying beautiful made in the USA goods that are going to become

unavailable and or very expensive. And then Garden Girl, who you guys see all the time here, follows up, what types of things? Oh, it's so brutal up here already, says our Canadian listener. I have a friend in tears as her husband works in a six-man fabrication shop and it could shut. The dollar is tanking. So what did I buy made in the USA? Well, first off, car batteries, feminine hygiene products, shelving for preps, stainless steel canner. I will be buying a pressure canner tomorrow.

And I ask that they keep us updated and let us know how that's going But it's you know It's a it's a moment of humanization to sit there and go like oh this this thing has Spikes and spines and it will affect the average person now. Hopefully Kumey or he's right on the money and It and it does go down and Because here's the thing, man. Yeah, we do. I just can't get ahold of Amel to survive. I would love to have Toolman Tim on. He's had such wild success, he's seemingly unavailable. Which, I mean, it's great for him. It's good

for him. I'll try to get him on. I'll reach out and see if I can get him. I mean it's great for him. It's good for him I'll try to get him on I'll reach out and see if I can get I mean I have over the pet, you know But he would be a good guy to talk to I because he would give you the he would give you the real deal And he would also give me the answers that I'm looking for Which are our Canadian like as a Canadian born and raised and all that kind I mean, I know he's trying to escape for to some degree but he seems pretty happy at the Montreal I think it is hot hockey games you know what's the take what's that what are your feelings towards America at large Donald Trump the administration

the American people you know the American people aren't in the streets like save our Canadian brothers from the 25% tariff. This is what it is though, you know, so as I don't just saying as it takes shape, the reason I wanted to bring this up is because I think it plays throughout all the stuff that's going to happen. Like I said, people in our world are frankly, like, just thrilled with what's happening fire wolf forge what is up thrilled you know what I mean and it's a good thing to some degree a lot of it are a lot of it is good but it's just a reminder that there will be

repercussions in it all you know what I mean and you know that's what this whole article is about this whole article that I posted up on the sub stack today is all about that. It's all about drug cartel. It's all about radical Islam. It's all about tariffs. It's all about federal and states' rights. Because when you sign a mountain of executive orders, you are creating a war at the state and federal level. There's no doubt about it.

All this stuff, you know, just worth considering. That's all. What else? What are you guys' feelings on tariffs? Jay Ferg says, America does get a lot of supplies from elsewhere, but if pushed, we can make our own. Did before we can again Yeah, that's kind of my thought about it

I've been thinking a lot about that as America pulls back Like as America pulls back. I've been thinking a lot about that America has the landmass the people to skill the money To become self-sufficient in large part, right? Africa doesn't. And it's not our fault and it's not your fault as the taxpayer, it's not your kids fault and your grandkids fault for the trillions of dollars that they're in debt. And the reason that your kids are in debt and your grandkids are in debt is big that aren't even born yet is because we we Created a world well

First we created waterways and oceans that were safe for trade with our Navy That's what America did first after World War two We decided to pump the military full of money to assure that the waterways were safe for trade. Right? It wasn't like that before. It wasn't like you could just say like take giant boats full of billions of dollars worth of goods, ship them across the ocean, ship them across the world. They'll get there on time and everybody will have their goods. You know what I mean? There were pirates, all kinds of problems that had to

be dealt with. That was like our first commitment, you know, and it changed everything and we continued to change everything. And that's the weird thing, right? We helped build this thing, this sort of prosperity around the world to in large part and Now we're starting to pull back a little pool and back, you know what I mean? Pulling back money pulling back this pulling back that and the only thing that I feel bad about is you know like a Sort of like a spoiled child with no skills. There's a lot of places in the world They don't have the resources, the

skills, that kind of stuff to get back on their own feet. You know what I mean? And it seems, I don't know, it seems like we need to wean them a little. Firewolf Fort says do we have the skills anymore? It takes almost a year to build a stick house nowadays. What? Ten years for a factory. Well, you're right. You're right. Those things could change. Kumi Uri Farm says, "'Direct shipping from China overseas under $800

is coming to an end. Gonna make it harder to get some repair parts. I just got an aftermarket fuse block for a very old truck this way.'" Not to mention certain medicines from India. You can say Ivermectin on rumble. Just write it. Don't be afraid. We have worked too hard, Kumiori Farm, for you to censor yourself on this podcast. Good God. Don't do it. Don't do it Don't do it. Please it actually burns me. You know what I mean? Unless you did that by accident. I don't know

You ready to switch gears the sub stack will go out to everybody who's subscribed I Don't know it's it's a writing platform for me outside of PBN stuff But I may use it in both there's a bunch cool stuff up there right if you want to read the full article five things Trump has done that you must prepare for then read it it's linked down below okay it'll be in all the podcast links and so forth and you can subscribe there if you want to get my writings it's not always prepping stuff it's not always survival I'm gonna show you guys something new though. I'm gonna show you guys something pretty cool and new. It's a forgotten piece of what we used to do here.

And I don't have a link to the book I'm gonna show you. But an old segment made anew. Let's get into it. And I don't have a link to the book I'm gonna show you but an old segment made in new Let's get into it Alright guys We did it for a long time it was supposed to be like a crowning part of We did it for a long time. It was supposed to be like a crowning part of PBN Daily News and then it just you know, I'm like a

I'm like a like one of like a dog on a leash, you know what I mean? I just like see something over there and I'm like You know what I mean, but I wanted to show you this book first and foremost. I think of all the cookbooks that I have This is the best look at Italy and Italian food In existence and that's kind of what I wanted to talk about The pictures are important the recipes even more so Don't worry my I

Hit the camera. I don't know why the camera is so testy with me. But if I touch the thing it's plugged into over here, it gets mad. Going into February, like northern Italy, I mean, sorry, southern Italy, there's a lot of summery sort of stuff, you know what I mean? And grilled seafoods and grilled vegetables and these kinds of things. But this is kind of that time of year. It's still the sort of red wine time of the

year. It's still the... to me it always feels like a good time to make pasta from scratch. You know what I mean? Making noodles, making pasta from scratch It really really easy and the beautiful thing about it is It lends itself to what hopefully you already have right? Hopefully you already have eggs Right. Hopefully you have some kind of egg producing creature Within your property, you know what I mean? But we're talking about egg yolk semolina flour olive oil to create You know your basic pasta recipe I I did not I did learn my basic pasta recipe from Jamie Oliver, but it wasn't out out of this book in particular

But it's such a good time for that man. Do you have a pasta machine? You know a pasta machine is It's one of those things like if you have kids it's almost a given, you know, it really is like a given It's a crank. It's a hand crank machine that rolls out sheets of pasta if you want to make Like lasagna and there's cutter attachments you can make fettuccine. You can make spaghetti. I would say if you have four arms that work relatively well, you are about 10 minutes away from pasta dough. Now it does need to rest. So you got to you got to calculate that in there Yes, fire will forge one of those crank thingies man. Those crank thingies are sweet

the other thing you get if you get a crank thing is You can get these really cool They're like us I don't own them because when I make ravioli and stuff like that, I just cut them out with a cup You know what? I mean like use the cup roll Roll out the pasta dough, use the cup, cut out the circle. You can put the two circles together. You can crimp, fold and crimp. You can make tortellini by taking the half moon, filling in the middle half moon and then twist the two ends together. It's fun. Pasta making stuff is fun. It's easy. But the sort of the olive oil, tomato, red wine, fish, high quality meats, you know, basil, red chili flake. What am I missing? Sometimes an emphasis on like cured pork pieces.

This kind of, uh, this kind of Italian food this time of year really is, it's the best. It's great. Do you buy, I will, I will caution you though. I ate a bunch of like salted salamis and soprasadas over the holiday and it did take a toll on me. So you got to be careful of that. When you get wrapped up in whatever types of food you're making, types of food you're

eating and all that kind of stuff, I always feel like when you return back to pasta particularly, you know like good stuff when you return back to pasta and Tomato sauce and all that kind of stuff. It's just your body I don't know if it's because i'm you know from italian heritage or whatever, but my body just seems to acclimate You better, you know, it's like oh, I know this stuff But it is, you know italian food is just one of those things. You should dig into it. You should dig deeper into it than spaghetti and meatballs. It's highly seasonal.

It's highly focused on local procurement simplicity, too. There's a recipe in here in the beginning. I've never made it. But I used to pour over these books man day and night when I was a chef and There's a recipe in here. It's like fungi on a plate Where is it? It's in the very early parts of the book. I might have missed it actually. Oh It's just like literal mushrooms roasted on a plate. Fungi tagliati e fettina sottili con mozzarella fusa e timo. Timo being fresh thyme. Slice mushrooms with melted mozzarella and thyme.

What? Let me show you the picture then I'll tell you the story. So I'm guessing like they broil the entire plate, you know, or broil, you know what I mean? Broil the platter, slide it off onto a plate, something along those lines. My mother, who is not Italian, but she was really good at this stuff, especially like late night and My friend Steve's mom was also really good at the kind of late night Italian simple, you know one of things my mother would always make sure take old spaghetti And she put it in the microwave, right?

with butter parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning pull it out when it was all hot stir up the butter in it you know if it's like 1030 p.m. and you can't sleep right it's just a way to go yeah you got to do it kiyori farm says you got a way to keep a shtf stock of semolina flour Treat it just like flour You know what I mean treat it just like flour same same deal pack fresh USA Mylar bags Oxygen absorbers five gallon bucket that kind of stuff. The reason semolina is so good is because it's finer You know what I mean? And it makes us you you could if you do one with semolina one without you could tell the difference pretty easily, right? It's just Try it, you know, it's a denser

It's I want to say meaty, you know what I mean when you use regular flour It's like a more meaty noodle something like that. It's more delicate with the semolina but um another It's more delicate with the semolina but um another Memory that comes to mind with this sort of it like simplistic Italian snack, especially late-night snacking is My friend Steve's mom I couldn't sleep I was sleeping over his house and went upstairs We all used to hang out in his basement. I went upstairs and she was sitting in the kitchen with a I think she had like a key auntie

and a pie and She was like this is where got a cheese pie. Do you want to have some regatta cheese pie? It's like, you know Almost midnight or something and we just had the regatta cheese pie and it was it was good one of the things about it Those sort of Italian desserts too. It's is they don't have the amount of sugar. There's a great egg and polenta cake in this recipe, in this book that I showed you. Good. Good. Not a lot of sugar. Not as sweet. You'll eat it and you'll say, oh, it needs more sugar. You know. I don't know. So we're going to bring back thehtf chef segment. It's uh It's essential, you know what I mean? It's essential and I for the members

I'm gonna clip the shtf chef segments and I'm gonna build out an shtf series shtf chef series. I Think it just makes sense, you know and we'll do some for that member series We'll also do some I've got the right camera for the job now so we can do Sort of hands-on stuff more hands-on stuff. I could probably gather a bunch of hands-on stuff too that we've done over the years we've done the bacon making the ham curing the some pickling stuff Yeah, anyhow What else are we doing L to survive YouTube channel

has a really awesome Oh light Oh sphere review I don't know when I think came out yesterday or today correct me if I'm wrong L to survive I know you're in chat but head on over to the YouTube channel L to survive L the number to survive And leave a comment on the O light O sphere because I Noticed a negative comment. The O sphere is a different product for O light. O light makes really great flashlights headlamps that kind of stuff And I noticed a little bit of a negative Conversate comment over there. I wasn't too happy about it. They're like, this thing is useless.

It's a colored light. It's a colored light that you can kind of control. It probably is more along the lines of like a Govee light. They're trying to probably break into that world over at Olight. There's a lot of things you can do with a colored light. A light that changes color can be very effective You know what I mean from a from a preparedness standpoint, you know, it can be a covert way of Communication

Right certain color in the window at night can tell a lot Especially if you've established what those colors mean throughout like your community something along those lines. I don't know Check it out. It's pretty cool I think that's it for today folks. We've got a I've got a Dial these little segments in because now I have no into the cash for you today But it is what it is. I do have a rising Republic this week. I got it yesterday from the boys Stephen Menking is coming back Sunday as well. It's gonna be a it's gonna be one of those weeks. I supposedly

Hang on a second and my backwards and upside down comments are clicking Where is it? I Need a beans and rice cookbook if there aren't enough recipes do some with rice and beans Maybe we'll talk about the morose tomorrow. Let me write that down The morose was always a really cool Beans and rice recipe that was just top-notch and you know if you if you participate in September when we when we hang the ham we didn't do it this year

but if you participate September we'll do it oh you got the you got the tin fish book it's a great book man it's called Jamie's Italy this book Jamie's Italy it really is one of the best it's like I don't think to have like a ton of them just focus on Italian cooking but I don't know it's to me it's the one I always reach for but anyway I think that's about it I'm going you guys have fun.
