The Prepper Broadcasting Network - PREPPER Fitness Basics and Riffing on I AM Liberty (REPLAY)

Episode Date: August 7, 2024

@PBNLinks | Linktree

We have to hit the reset button and create a true culture of preparedness, starting at a very young age and filtering all the way up. I know you're asking today, how long will it take? Somebody's asking, how long will prejudice blind the visions of men? I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth, Christ, crusher will rise again. How long? Not long.

Because no lie can live forever. How long? Not long. Because you shall reap what you sow. How long? Not long. Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong way upon the throne. Yes, sir. Yet that scaffold sways the future. Behind the dim unknown standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.

How long? Not long. How long? Because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Yes, sir. How long? Not long. Because my eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He's trapping out the fittest, while the grapes of wrath are sore. He's loosed the faithful lightning of his terrible trisorm.

Dr. Martin Luther King, ladies and gentlemen. If you ever questioned the importance of a man in the history of the United States, you know, you listen to words like that and you start to understand that they are timeless. They fit and they achieve their goal in their time. But words like that, delivered in such a way, are timeless. And as fitting for the right that is being discriminated against right now, as fitting for the conservative base in this nation that's being discriminated against right now. Yes or no.

And we've just seen the beginning. As fitting for this time. As when the words were first said. I'm telling you. Timeless. You know we're living through a lesson in human potential. That's what we're living through right now. I thought, this is what I thought, and I wasn't 100% wrong, but I thought the great age of enlightenment would lead to an age of action.

And in some ways it has, right? And the great age of enlightenment is obviously the internet There's no getting around You go back to the original enlightenment age And it's like, I mean good Glad we went through it But when you talk about what the human race has been What power the human race has been given through this age

of enlightenment, the age of, I can find out almost anything I want. I can find out most of the truth. I mean, most of the truth was not something people could ever even hope to understand or grasp just 40 years ago. You couldn't get most of the truth 40 years ago, right? Even in America 40 years ago, what did you really know about the inner workings of the government? You were dependent on reporters. You were dependent on those reporters writing stories that made it to newspapers or made it to headlines. You know, now we have leakers. We have Project Veritas. We have just, it's insane. So what humans have done with all this Has created a moment.

Of massive human potential. And that's where we sit today. And if you don't look at it through that lens. This time can be as confusing. As anything. That has ever been. I was watching. Conor McGregor. Remark. to Logan Paul about a fight that they potentially might have in the future.

And I'm saying to myself, I'm in the Twilight Zone. I'm in the Twilight Zone. I'm in the Twilight Zone because Conor McGregor was the most famous. First of all, the fact that he was the most famous MMA fighter probably ever. Fought Floyd Mayweather, which didn't make sense at the time. Now, he's lining up to fight a YouTuber in Logan Paul. And on the face of it, it looks absurd. And that's what brought me to this, right? People are stepping into positions that on the face of it tend to look absurd. And some of them are very absurd, right? Sort of like AOC, for example. she's stepping into a position

of a little bit of absurdity right and then there's people like logan paul i hope that's the right brother i might be getting it wrong who looks like he's a good damn fighter he looks like he's a damn good fighter, and that is maximizing human potential. And that's something that we kind of struggle with, but it's happening around us all the time. Right? So in other words, it's like, okay, Muhammad Ali, float like a butterfly, sting like the bee. Right? Greatest boxer, potentially the greatest boxer of all time.

Arguably the greatest boxer of all time. I don't know. But that was him. That's what he did. Michael Jordan, right? Greatest basketball player. He was a great basketball player. What did he do?

He was a great basketball player. Okay. We've reached a point now where it's where we're a lot and this is happening with lots of people lots of people aren't stopping at oh he's this oh so he's a he's a he's a highly successful youtuber okay why stop there right he's a highly successful restaurateur okay why stop there right people people are maximizing their human potential because of efficiency because of the ability to to expand a message and grow a message and build a following like never before what am I getting at?

It's exactly what I'm getting at. That's where we're at. It's not a bad time, but it can be a confusing time because we're living through a time of massive realized human potential. And we're seeing for the first time that, and this is hard. This is hard for people who don't want to work hard. What's hard for people who don't want to work hard is you can never lift the veil of the fact that we all have massive potential.

That we all have massive potential. Right? See, when you have a Michael Jordan, and there's only one, then the massive people can watch him and say, well, you know, I'm not a Michael Jordan. And that is what it is. but when when you see millions of people achieving at high high high levels all the time and you're sitting on your couch collecting a check it's really hard then for you to live the idea that some people got it some people don't. He was born with it. Or whatever, right? It's like, no, man, people find their way.

Some people grind and find their way and step up on a platform and climb to a new one and climb to a new one until they've reached heights that are unbelievable. And it's because of the age of enlightenment. It's because of our technological capacity has now given us the ability to maximize our human potential. Look, this is probably a little too much to open the show with, but it's just, you know, this is what I wanted the monologue to be.

We start with a great man and his comments about i mean his comments in in that speech about how long not long are just incredible for a moment like this right when he talks about a lie can't live forever when he talks about uh I mean, it just really fits. He had another great speech about nonviolence, too, which we might have to play later in the show. That's right on the money, too. But I want to talk about human potential tonight and your potential. Why? Because we're going to talk about, well, look, we're going to riff tonight for sure.

We're going to riff. We're going to I Am Liberty it up. That's what's going to happen. We've got Prepper News Stories. We got a Liberty Review tonight. But we're going to riff tonight. There's a lot going on. Something hit me right before the show. I didn't even get a chance to really digest it all, but we're going to riff on it. Ding. Sorry. I just hit the microphone with the disaster coffee. Oh yeah. 9, 11 PM. That's when you start drinking a dark French roast. That's when you start drinking that matter of facts, dark humor. And you want to know a secret, actually? You want to know an actual secret about when to drink dark roast? You don't necessarily want to drink dark roast at night, but if you're going to drink a cup of coffee at 9, 11 p.m., and it's not decaf, and I've never even drank a cup of decaf coffee, I don't even know what the point is but if you're not going to drink decaf uh dark roasts

actually have less caffeine you would think a dark roast maximum caffeination right dark and when it's roasted to that point it's actually not as caffeinated as a medium roast for the longest time i didn't know i thought it was the other way around. Give me that dark roast. It's got all the caffeine in it. It's funny, the things you learn, right? Caffeine's going to play a big role in this new disaster coffee that we release. Excuse me. But yeah, I'm swilling caffeinated beverage at 9, 12 p.m. I'll sleep great tonight.

Oh, yeah, I'll sleep great. I'll be up 16 times i'll be having nightmares i'll be having uh dreams about things i can't even speak of on the air yeah when i drink late night coffee it gets crazy gets absolutely insane tomorrow by 12 12 in the afternoon tomorrow i'll be a zombie i'll be an absolute zombie tomorrow, 12 in the afternoon. I'll still have a few hours of work left. I'll have to trudge on through that. Don't worry, live chat room.

I'm just updating Element, and I'll come see what's up. But thank you for joining us, all you live listeners. This is the I Am Liberty Show. And, hey, I'm always grateful. Glad you could be with us tonight we're gonna get into prepper fitness yes I know everybody hates prepper fitness I've been doing prepper fitness shows for a long time that is what it is that is what it to end the Lee and chat. What's going on? So it's not going to be entirely about fitness and nutrition and that type of thing tonight because there's a lot to talk about. What's going on in the Republican Party right now is outstanding.

I mean, I don't know what it is. I don't even know what the Republican Party is at this moment in time. I'm hearing that Trump's pulling the strings. Trump's calling the shots. Mitch McConnell's falling apart. They want to throw Marjorie under the bus. They want to, what do they want to do? They want to fire, what's the name's daughter?

The Vietnam POW, I can't remember his name. They want to fire his daughter's his name's daughter? The Vietnam POW, I can't remember his name. They want to fire his daughter because she voted for impeachment. The other one's too crazy, they want to kick her out. The Republicans are in big trouble, man. They are in big trouble. They better turn this ship around in four years. What they got going on right now looks, to me, to me, looks like complete and total disarray.

I don't know how much of what is written is true. I don't know how much of what is being said is true. The only thing I do know is if an elected official, an elected representative of the people, elected by the people, is seated in Congress and is put on committees. I don't really care. What it is. That they believe. And this doesn't just have to do. With. What's happening in Congress right now.

This is period end of story. Could be on the left. It could be on the left. It could be lunatics like AOC, in my opinion. It can be lunatics like, you know, the A-list over there in the Democrat Party. So the big deal here is people go to the booth to vote for their representative so that their representative can show up and represent them. And the moment you start saying, I don't know about this woman. She seems nuts.

I don't know about this lady. She's crazy. I don't know about him. He's a lunatic. He was elected. And he's got two years, and elections happen again. So what's the problem? You can't intervene, because if you intervene, there's no republic.

If you intervene and say, this one can't go on that committee, this one's got to be kicked out of the party, they've got to re-vote, this one's got this, and got to take her and him. He's too radical. He's not radical enough. Once you try to start manipulating the Congress to figure out who should fit where and what they should believe and what they should say and what they shouldn't say. What do you think the people who pulled the lever for her didn't know that she was not.

You don't think they knew what she was about before they got into what they were pulling the lever for her didn't know that she was not you don't think they knew what she was about before they got into what they were pulling the lever for also also getting real tired of this hyper uh investigation on everyone too by the way this hyper investigation on everyone in the world is really starting to annoy me you know it i don't know can people live but then again it's their fault you know what i mean it's their fault it's their fault because you put everything on the internet every single thing you do you put on the internet. Every single thing you do, you put on the internet. Hey, we're out with our friends. I just saw it right before I got on some country star, got videotaped saying the N-word.

Now his whole career's over, naturally, right? No judge, no jury, nothing. He said the N-word, so the whole career's done. It's over. Forget about him. The ash heap of history i think there's an amendment for things like that pretty sure pretty sure you shouldn't be able to destroy a person publicly right you shouldn't be able to destroy a person publicly

and completely and entirely um without due process i thought that was part of the nation. I don't know. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. Maybe I'm just 34 years old and old fashioned. I'm already aged out. I don't understand. Look, the Republicans will be bullied into submission by the popular times, the popularity of the times, right? That's what it is. The Republicans are making an attempt at pleasing everybody. I mean, they're literally falling into the old adage of, you know, they've literally ignored the warning of you can't please everybody. Mitch McConnell's up there. I can. I't please everybody mitch mcconnell's up there i can i can please everybody i can i got donald trump on hold we're gonna kick this one out we're gonna keep this one

we're gonna take this one off a committee uh we don't know who we're gonna run there's nobody to run but we're gonna make sure everybody's happy because we're the Republicans. So they'll be bullied into submission by the Democrats and the journalists. That's that. That's what it looks like to me anyway. We've got to keep an eye on them. They're our only hope here. There are bills right now in the House that are literally just saying, you know what, National Firearms Registry.

And hallelujah. I mean, that's what's coming next. And I don't know what the Republicans are going to do. They don't know what they're going to do. I think I'm for the Second Amendment. Mitch, am I for the Second Amendment still? No? Okay. Will I get taken off the committee?

Okay. All right then. I have no idea. I get taken off the committee? Okay. Alright then. No idea. It's just funny to me to watch this. Whole thing.

You know? Destroy people. Make martyrs of them. You know? We're making martyrs for decades now. The left destroying people, making martyrs. So we talk about a great man in MLK, right?

We talk about a great man in Martin Luther King. And we need to talk about another great man who you may not have heard of, or you may not have heard of his situation this weekend. But right before I got on the show, I was watching Michaela Peterson's podcast. I just clicked it on for a quick second. I'm not a huge fan of her podcast, really. I think I've only watched one other podcast, and it was because her dad was on. Nothing against her, just, you know, when your dad is Jordan Peterson, it's a tough act to follow. So I find out that the Sunday Times ripped this guy apart, Jordan, so much so, called him a schizophrenic, ripped him up so much so that he had them retract the article.

You know, he went there out of kindness after. tracked the article, you know, he went there out of kindness after, if you don't know what Jordan Peterson's gone through over the last, I don't know, half a decade or so, it's been brutal for the man, I mean, he almost lost his wife, he got addicted to some kind of crazy psycho, what's it called, I don't know what they're called. Some kind of pill for something he was dealing with. Got off of that. You know, it's just a whole thing, right? His daughter tried to help him out. His daughter's had a hell of a life also.

Help him through that. Put him on a diet. Get him straight. And basically the Sunday Times just ripped the whole thing apart. Just ripped the man apart. Ripped the... Just... I mean,

how you could take a guy like this and throw him under the bus is astounding to me. I mean, it really is. I mean, I've watched this guy cry in joy over merely meeting other men

who come to his shows and tell him that they've got a promotion at work. They're sewing up their marriage, which was falling apart. They're talking to their father again because of what Jordan Peterson has taught them in his lectures. Not at school. Literally on YouTube lectures or in, on tour, right, his books, like these men have totally changed their lives for the better,

and listen, you want that, you want a society of men who are doing well, the opposite of that, Of men who are doing well The opposite of that The opposite of that Is a nightmare That's called Well that's civil unrest Is what that is That's social upheaval

When you have enough men Of a certain age Who are like I can't get it together Sorry It is what it is That's when worlds topple over. You know, those are dark, dark periods in history. When enough men decide that this thing ain't working out, that's when it gets bad. So when you have a man, a brilliant man at that, who can guide

people towards the light, towards being a better version of themselves. Naturally, what the left-leaning tabloids would do is, which are newspapers, right? Newspapers are essentially tabloids anymore anyway. They're trash. Naturally, what you do with a guy like that is you attack him, right? And naturally what you do with a guy like that is you attack him, right? So I was going to see the Sunday Times article. I wanted to read it naturally. And I stumbled upon an article from The Times, thetimes.co.uk, by a guy named Hugo Rifkind. And the title of his article is Jordan Peterson's Feminized Men Just Don't Exist.

The Wildly Popular Canadian Psychologist's Barney Theories About Masculinity Now Look As Shaky As His Diet Plan. This was published on February 1st, 2021. Now just remember what I told you about Jordan Peterson and what the man has accomplished, right? First of all, he was attacked and he was attacked because his government said, Hey, look, you're going to call transgender people, whatever the hell they tell you to call them. Okay. And that's law. And he basically said, and that's law. And he basically said, nope, that's not, I'm not doing that.

And it's not that I'm not doing that because I have a problem with transgender people. I'm not doing that because I have a problem with my government telling me that I have to say a certain thing a certain way. So automatically, automatically a guy like me is drawn to a guy like that, right? The apparent collapse of Jordan Peterson is like a parable. Over the past decade, and not always by virtue of his own efforts, the Canadian psychologist's name has become synonymous with the idea that men are increasingly emasculated in an increasingly feminized world. And then he goes on to talk about the Sunday Times. Demonized world. And then he goes on to talk about the Sunday Times.

And then there he was in this weekend's Sunday Times in an interview with, I can't even say the name, Deca Aikenhead. Is that guy's last name Aikenhead? Like Aikenhead? I'm sorry. Seemingly having spent the last 18 months being shuffled around weird health institutions by his daughter, Michaela. Who had also put him on a weird diet. On a weird diet.

Really, Hugo? On a weird diet? Journalist. Given that she is also the CEO of his company, he came across like a frail old man dominated by whip by his women folk and then of course i can't read the rest of the article unless i subscribe to this disgusting rag so that's never going to happen you're never going to get a penny from me yeah i've read two paragraphs from some guy i've never heard of, and all he's done is attack a man who's done incredible things to make our society a better place. I mean, I don't know why we're floundering, says the owner of the Times. I don't know why we're floundering.

Subscribe, get unlimited access on any device. Nobody's subscribing to this. Come on, buddy. Hugo. Let's see what Hugo's done with his life real quick. Can we take a departure for a minute? I mean, I'm always interested in people who attack others who have done great things. Hugo Rifkin is a columnist and a lead writer for The Times,

formerly a columnist for The Herald. Wow. He joined The Times in 2005 as a diarist. You write diaries, do you, Hugo? He now writes a weekly opinion column, and my week, a diary parody He also writes a regular column for the Spectator and GQ And is a frequent panelist on BBC Radio 4's

So you know who Hugo is, right? You know that If you get a job writing for the Spectator Writing for GQ You're towing a certain party line. His novel, Overexposure, was published in 2006. Hugo was named Columnist of the Year at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards. Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards. Let's see what he's written.

We are Bellingcat by Elliot Higgins. The rise of intelligence agency for people. Jordan Peterson's article he wrote, Stop whining, Remainers, and Save the UK. Bitcoin's political project has failed dismally. We can't regulate our way out of online anarchy. Despite it all, try to look on the bright side. The Serpent, a portrayal of murderer, real-life killer would love.

He wrote a review on Bridgerton. The Grand Tour, less motoring page, more like the Kardashians. Inside the story of the unprecedented year. I don't know. It's all so compelling. I don't know what I would read first. Hugo Rifkin on the luxury of fear. Fear, I am apt to think in my more pessimistic moments, is our most true state of being. What the fuck? See you, buddy. See you, my man. Fear is our most true state of being. Get the hell out of here.

What is this guy doing? So you take a guy like that and he rips uh jordan peterson apart that's good have a nice life there hugo so that's the world we live in folks you take the great men you try to run them over of course the problem with that is um if you affect people's lives in a positive way you can't really take that away, right? That's what that non-violent speech by MLK was so good. It was such a good one because he was talking about that, right? He was talking about how the effect of the non-violent protests and the non-violence in his movement was basically something that they could not stop. Right? Because when you make the decision to be nonviolent, you can't do anything about it.

It's the most frustrating thing in the world. Yeah, you can get violent with nonviolent people. But that doesn't change the fact that they're still nonviolent and they're still standing on a moral high ground. It's kind of the same thing. Right? on a moral high ground. It's kind of the same thing, right? You take people who do good, and they do good, and it reflects,

and it's contagious, right? And other people catch it. And you attack a person like that, and you know what happens? Nothing. Nothing happens. Because they still write books. They still do good.

They still affect people in a positive way. And little twerps with, you know, journalist awards sit down. I'll tell you what. Let me tell you something about that guy. Oh, I don't know how people sleep at night, man. You know, I've not made many drastic errors in life, I've made some, but I don't know, if I spent my life reviewing, negatively reviewing people and things with vitriol and anger, because I, I don't know, I don't know what these people's deal is, but clearly they're not happy, and they're not to the way they want to be. I mean, if you write things like that, it's weird, right?

If that's what your deal is, you wait for this. I don't want to waste my time with it. I don't want to waste my time with it anymore. We're 30 minutes in. We ain't talked about anything having to do with prep or fitness. But I told you. We're going to riff tonight too. Alright. That's part of the deal. That's part of the deal tonight on the I Am Liberty show. So.

Let's do. What do we want to do now? Let's do some commercials. We'll do some prepper news. We'll lighten it up a little bit. And then we'll get into fitness talk. Okay. It's not going to be heavy fitness. I had an epiphany about prepper fitness and I want to talk to you about that. And then we'll talk a little bit about, you know, tiered approach. You know, my preparedness philosophy, simple. I want everything. I want

all the options, you know, and I don't mean everything in the sense that I'm going to spend all the money on the things. It's just options. smart you know it's about smart oh jay fergie and willow just finished a killer workout i can't wait till you two finish a killer podcast but that's awesome keep up the good work telling you physical fitness is everything if you don't believe me i don't know what to tell you let's do some commercials we'll come back we'll do uh preppers in the news are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency this is the intrepid commander and i'm holding the The Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W.

What is up? Doomsdayday preppers what propels a person to prepare koam news that's a great that's a great call sign is this is james walton with koam news now what is this dot com doomsday preppers what propels a person to prepare so i don't even know where this is but this is like a looks like a local news anybody listen to koam joplin missouri joplin uh did i do that right

somewhere joplin i don't know if it's that or not for many preppers being prepared doesn't necessarily mean you're scared well according to rink and thinking what was the what's the guy's name riffin kiffin kent ken rink and thinking who wrote the jordan peterson article say the power did go off an emp or solar flare that comes in then you're looking at not having nothing says duane converse how are you going to feed your family how are you going to feed yourself do? How are you going to feed yourself? Doomsday preppers, while they prepare for the worst, their intentions are usually for the best.

Can you imagine reading this in a time? I mean, it's just... What a prepper was just five years ago. It's just hilarious to read people be so congenial towards prepping now over the last 31 years here in wyandotte oklahoma duane converse there's your answer has become the prepper's prepper i wonder what the prepper's prepper is you have different events like y2k that shock people and then they start thinking about that, he says. Then 9-11 happened. That was really scary for people being scared to death. Like, what's next?

However, it's not only in the wake of those moments of fear that surplus stores like Duane see lots of first-time customers walk in the door. It happens every day, he says, because once they start worrying about it, well, this could happen, and then they talk to family members. And they think they're nuts. So they come in and kind of feel me out. And it's a natural response. Next thing you know, they come in regularly and want to talk about stuff.

I'm glad to share my knowledge. I feel like it's my duty to do so. Maybe we need a prepper store here in Richmond. That would be a good one. We got a new brewery down the street we got a new uh apartment complex we got a coffee place i really like down there um maybe we need a prepper store right in there and see what people would do with that right that's what i need to do put a put a failing after how many years of of building up an online business that has no hardly any overhead right what i need to do is invest in a brick and mortar go into debt and

fail and think less of the city i live in so this is a pretty cool story And to think in terms of 72 and 96 hours To have enough supplies In terms of food, water, medicine, clothing, radio, batteries For that period of time Because that's about how long it takes To get ourselves organized And figure out what has happened to us How do they end this thing?

Preppers are all lunatics They should go to hell Showing how a little preparation can mean so much. I would think in your soul you just feel the need, says Converse. You just know in your gut that you should be prepared. That's just the way it is. Boom. Click here for resources on emergency preparers from the city of Joplin.

It's an amazing thing. We're living through an amazing thing, we're living through an amazing thing, preppers, I'm telling you, everybody's going, man, the preppers, maybe I won't call myself a prepper, but maybe I'll do a little prepping, maybe I'll read a few articles, maybe I'll store a little food, maybe I'll just make sure I got a generator, plenty of gas. So look, guys. Let me begin at the beginning. When I was about 16 years old, I was running with a group of guys in a garage band, you know,

long hair attitude, usually some kind of weird colored hair, maybe a painted fingernails type of deal. And one of the things that we really prided ourselves on was zero physical activity above what was necessary in life. necessary in life. You know, like we prided ourselves on, let's just go to your house and sit on the couch and watch TV. I remember one of my friend's parents made this incredible sweet tea. And I didn't understand what sweet tea was at the time. You know, my mom made good sweet tea. She made tea with lemon. Well, she didn't make sweet tea. She made good iced tea, right? She made good iced tea with lemon in it and sugar. and she would make it sometimes in the summer when we had a good dinner something like that um but my buddy i could say his name who gives a shit wally wally's parents made incredible sweet tea like southern sweet tea but i didn't know what southern

sweet tea was yet because i was in philadelphia i had no idea what that was, and I didn't go anywhere growing up, you know, we didn't make trips down to Florida and stuff, like, we didn't go anywhere, like, we went where we had to go, and we came home, and hopefully the car didn't die on the way, and that was just life, when I got friends, and I got older, and my parents got more secure, and knew I wasn't an idiot, they'd let me go places with other family, but we didn't even go far then, like, oh, we're going to Rehoboth, we're going to Delaware, going to Jersey, so when I got south, you know, with my wife, I kind of figured that out, but anyway, we really prided ourselves on doing nothing, you know, like, I don't want to do anything, sit on this couch, the only thing we got up for was band practice, right?

Band practice and shows, right? We would give our all. And it was awesome. It was a good time. You know what I mean? But around 17 years old, actually probably at the end of my 16. At the end of 16, my girlfriend at the time, she didn't necessarily break my heart,

but we went our separate ways. We were together for a long time for young kids. And we both were tired of each other, but we were too young to understand what the hell we were doing. And we really just grew apart completely. You know, and we were tethered together by this habitual, you know, this habit of being together, like we know it'll feel good if we just keep

going together, it's gonna hurt real bad if we don't, and we broke up, you know, and I remembered I started running the track at school, and listen, my group of friends that I ran in and myself were so against physical activity of any kind that we sat on the bleachers all through gym and failed gym all through high school by choice. Like I'm not doing any of that. I'm not doing none of it. They would let you walk the track after school to get your gym credits. So we would fail in gym on purpose. And then we would walk the track after school and waste more of our time. And you'd have to walk like a mile or something like that. I don't remember. I think it was you walked a mile or I don't remember, but you'd have to do that. We'd have to do that. That was our thing, right? We're so rebellious and

smart that we're not going to play your stupid gym games, but we'll waste our life outside of school walking the track, right? And for me, that was a big waste because I worked right across the street from the high school. I could have been working, making money, right? But after that, I started thinking about fitness a little more. You know, things were happening. Things were changing. My friends were growing up, you know, girlfriends and stuff. You know, I always had a girlfriend.

So I was like, I didn't know it at the time, but they kind of hated me because I would be like, no, I'm not coming over. I'm going to hang with Christy today. You guys go ahead, and a lot of times they'd be bored, I didn't know it, so there was a little bit of vitriol there, when they all got girlfriends, they liked to leave me hanging, even though I was kind of by myself, and having a rough time, so I started running, started running before work, run that run that track and I'd laugh. Gym was over then because I was in vo-tech. But I'd run and I'd laugh and I'd say to myself, what a moron you are. What are you? You were scared of running this track, you dummy. And you would spend your time after school running this track,

walking on the track, talking about how dumb everyone is in gym class. And, uh, you know, then I met my wife very young, met my wife and, um, you know, she was a, she was a high level college athlete and I was just a cook with a garage band trying to make it out of high school, you know. And she was a high-level athlete at the time. I mean, she's still super athletic. But, you know, she was practicing all the time in super shape, right? She played, for those of you who don't know, Lady Liberty is, I don't have any idea how much my wife weighs, but she's very light.

But she's 5'2", and a very petite woman. But she's, like, frighteningly stronger than you would expect. And that's because she spent her whole life playing ice hockey with boys. And in college, she was playing with really good girls and playing life playing ice hockey with boys and in college she was playing with really good girls and playing defense and ice hockey so it was like this weird this weird thing going on where i was like this uh you know i was i i never get fat okay it's not in my genes my mom's tall and thin my dad's short and thin just it's our family thing, so, you know, not out of shape in that way, but definitely not, like, endured by any stretch, not really strong at all,

and to be quite honest with you, she changed all that, you know, she really did change all that for me, she would go to the gym in our first apartment, and then I started going to the gym in our first apartment. Then we said, you know what? We got to move out of this apartment because people are getting killed around us. We were in a very bad part of Wilmington. And we started working out at the gym, and I really got crazy about working out at the gym.

I remember I used to go in there 4 o'clock in the morning with my hoodie on and jogging pants and I would work out for like an hour and a half. And that was the beginning, man. That was the beginning of the change for me. And I was probably 20 at the time or 19, something like that, just out of mom and dad's house, living with my girlfriend. And, uh, I never stopped. And, and my first lesson to you on prep or fitness is to stop looking at working out and dieting as though though it's a. Means to an end. Because it's not. It's about. Changing your life.

To integrate fitness. And good eating habits. Forever. I mean that right there. If you can wrap your head around that. That concept, that's probably 99% of the battle. 99% of the battle when it comes to preppers and fitness is, this is the situation, this is the condition. The condition is you work out several times a week and you do your best to eat as healthy as possible. Now people get wrapped up on diets.

People get so wrapped up on diet. I don't know what to eat. What should I eat? I want to go on the meat diet, the carnivore diet. Maybe I should not eat carbs. Maybe I'll do the keto. Maybe I'll do the Atkins. Maybe I'll do the...

Let me give you... This is diet. I'll do that. Let me give you the best. This is diet. I'll sum diet up as simply and as quickly and as easily for you as possible. Eat animals and eat plants. For the most part. For the most part, eat animals and eat plants. And they should look like plants still, right?

Most of the plants that you eat should still be, they should still resemble the plant that they were originally. Right? That's how you know you're in good. And, yeah, the meat that you eat, for the most part, not all of it should look like meat still. Nothing wrong with a sausage, nothing wrong with a jerky, nothing wrong with a, with a force meat, you know, which is like a couple meats mixed together or meat and fat mixed together or something like nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with anything really. mean you can eat basically everything but mostly you should eat animals and you should eat plants and they should look like animals and plants and they shouldn't be a thousand years old i think the biggest problem with people's diets nowadays is that they eat food that is just so old.

I mean, it's not even about, I mean, it is about the level of processing that a lot of foods go through, but think of any snack food, anything, just pick one, like a granola bar, right? snack food, anything, just pick one, like a granola bar, right, a granola bar is made with like wheat or rice flour or, you know, some kind of brand, right, maybe oats, something like that, and then there's chocolate in them and dried fruits and the whole thing, and again, nothing, nothing wrong with this stuff. But when you start to wrap your head around, is this thing a month old? Are the ingredients in this a month old? Are the ingredients in this three months old? Is this thing I'm eating, was this, this thing that I'm eating right now. Made six months ago. That I pull out of the freezer. Now listen.

I'm not a purist. Alright. I'll eat a frozen chicken nugget. Who the hell knows. How old a frozen chicken nugget is. Right. Thing could be a year old. The chicken.

In other words. The chicken that was killed. To make a frozen chicken nugget. Could have been killed a year ago. Right. got to be killed and processed and oh god once they're all done being made then they're frozen then they're shipped to a frozen warehouse right they sit in a frozen warehouse until somebody places an order for them like a kroger then kroger buys them throws them in their back freezer until it's time to stock the shelf. Then they stock the shelf. Then you go and buy them. You put them in your freezer. Then they sit in your freezer until you're ready to use. So your food should look like the food that it is for the most part. And it shouldn't be years old, right? It should be fresh food.

That's a diet, man. If you want to add something else to that, you should eat in a certain time frame. You know, add an intermittent fasting to your diet and it makes a world of difference. You know, because you put restrictions on yourself in some way. You don't wake up at 5 in the morning and eat cupcakes because you don't eat until 9. And you don't stay up until 9 p.m. at night eating frosted shredded wheat. Sometimes I do. Because, you know, you stop eating at 7 or 6 or 5 or whatever. And again, you're always going to have those nights when you're like,

Honey, go get the caramel popcorn. Bring it up into the bed. We're going to binge watch something stupid and eat this whole tin because when fitness and diet are a lifelong pursuit when you have a falling out like that it doesn't matter because you're on the path forever only when you get in the mind frame of i got three months to lose 50 pounds I got three months so I could fit in this dress fit in this bathing suit look good for the holidays that's when you screw up on your diet and you're ready to kill yourself oh my god I messed up last night I ate

the cake shouldn't eat the cake now also I'll tell you one benefit that I have that most people well a lot of people don't is I I'm'm not really, uh, given to a lot of sweets anyway. Like I don't really like to eat candy at all. I don't really like to eat ice cream that much. You know, those things don't really move me. So that is what it is, but that's my, my two cents on diet, right? Eat foods that look like what they are for the most part. right eat foods that look like what they are for the most part doesn't have to be every meal doesn't have to be every day and try to eat food that isn't a month old and really start to look at your food that way when you look at what you're putting in your body how old is this thing i'm putting in my mouth not that it's dangerous or anything but from a nutritional content aspect, right? You go outside, you pluck

a leaf of kale off of a living plant and you eat it. What's coming off of that leaf compared to a potato chip? It's a different thing, right? It's a different profile. And if you're going to build a body, and I don't mean build a body like Arnold, but you're building a body every day, whether you're into building your body or not, right? Whatever you eat is what's making your body. It's literally what your cells are making themselves from, right? What you give them to make is what they use. So if you have the choice between making your body out of foods that are super fresh or out of foods that are three months old, seems like a pretty easy choice to me, right? Pretty easy choice.

I don't like vegetables. All right, then eat good steak. Eat good pork chops. I don't know what you want. chops. I don't know what you want. Like I said, it, where most people get, where most people get in trouble with diet, I think is they don't leave room for the good stuff. They get in trouble because they fill up on the garbage. And then when it comes time to eat dinner, they don't want to eat the greens. They don't want to eat the, uh You know, whatever. The nutritionally dense foods, they filled up on the crap, the mashed potatoes. And that's usually the issue.

But whatever. Let's talk fitness. Okay? So my challenge to everyone listening is simple. It's a very simple challenge. When I started Prepper Fitness, I was psychotic about fitness. I mean, I'm not psychotic about fitness anymore. I mean, it's life. It's just like anything else. You've got things you do every day. Fitness is a thing that's on my mind every day. I might not

work out every day, but I'll think about working out every day. It's a guarantee. And most days out of the week, I'll do some kind of a workout or some kind of fitness related thing. So, so my, when I first got into prep or fitness, it was like this idea of you should be doing these exercises each day or the, this, you should be able to do this much weight or like that all that kind of weird milestone stuff was what made up my advice and i didn't know how wrong i was in that messaging you know and i was way wrong in that messaging man so my challenge to you in 2021 in terms of prepared fitness basics, right? We're talking basics in February. That's the goal here at PBM. We're going to cover a lot of prepper basics.

My challenge to you is very simple. Really pay attention to how well you can use your body. Remember that. Use your body. Your body. Remember that. Use your body. Because what I didn't know.

What I didn't realize. Was how many American people. Even my age. Can't use their body. They just can't use their body. Which is like. Where you want to start. You should be able. To sit down on the floor, Indian style.

Am I allowed to say that anymore? Crisscross applesauce. Right? You should be able to sit in the Lotus. Sit down, cross your legs, play with your kids. You should be able to get up from that. You should be able to get up from that without it being the end of your day. Lay down on the hard floor. Get up off the hard floor. Right? Can you lift your leg up? How far up can you lift your leg?

Could you get over a short fence if you needed to? Right? I'm not asking you to be able to front flip over a fence like a ninja but i really want you to consider in 2021 kind of you know what when you when you attempt to use your body what are your restrictions? What restricts you? And you have to work on that. So before you start, look, I love seeing people get after it. I love it. When I started on Instagram, everybody was saying the funniest stuff and doing funny things and, you know, the funniest stuff and doing funny things and you know putting memes up and all this kind of stuff right now a bunch of my friends on instagram are working out preppers miles miles francis is archangel dynamics is dead lifting every other day on his instagram page dead lifting right it's awesome he's doing squats he's deadlift he's all charged up

it looks like he's drinking uh what's that stuff called diana ball or something like that some kind of crazy pre-workout that's making him a madman so he's becoming a madman uh warrior medic that flies around in a helicopter, that's so awesome, I think I saw Morgan working out, I saw Joe Prim doing, running around his neighborhood, you know, five miles, and it's just like, this is as good as it gets, right, you hop on Instagram, everybody's showing you like a gun, or a knife, or a toy, or a thing, or or look at me shoot look at what i can do look at this radio look at this thing now they're all working out and i love it i love that man because you learn so much so so the focus in 2021 really is not like let's start working out every day. That was my old message in 2020. Work out every day.

It's hard for people. It's hard for people. And when you start saying that thing, you know what you set people up for, particularly those who are not that motivated? You set them up to fail every day. James says I should work out every day. I ain't worked out in three days.

I'm a loser, right? And that's a big problem. That's a big problem. So I don't want out in three days. I'm a loser, right? And that's a big problem. That's a big problem. So I don't want people to feel like that because that's not how you... Unfortunately, it's very hard to motivate somebody into working out on a regular basis. It really has to come from within. come from within. But for preppers, it's really hard for me to understand the mindset of a person who has taken extreme action to prepare for the worst case scenario, but is not physically prepared for the worst case scenario. You know?

To really physically prepare for the worst case scenario, you have to put yourself through hell. And you know, there's a lot of ways you can do that. And I don't know if I want to get into those ways because, you know know it's dangerous too you know the other important thing about prep or fitness basics is you don't want to come out of the gate like a maniac and most likely hurt yourself or potentially kill yourself depending on your age right and fitness level like if you've been on the couch for the last 20 years

and you decide that you're going to get back to high school fighting shape. And, you know, you come out of the gate like a wild stallion. Yeah, you could blow a ventricle, but you'll probably just blow a knee. And if you blow a knee, good luck. Good luck getting back to it at all. You know, so that's the problem. That's the problem with all this. But you need your own motivation.

What do I do for motivation? That's a good one, right? Because a lot of days, well, here's a fundamental thing you have to understand about working out every day too or working out on a regular basis or working out as a lifestyle. Number one, you can't kill yourself every day, right? You can't kill yourself every day. There are workouts that I do that kill me, right? Heavy leg days kill you. You know, they kill you. You do a bunch of squats with heavy weight and the next day you can't walk. Or high leg days you know if i work out with

lady liberty she does these leg routines that are just they're relentless and you won't be able to walk next day and you can work out i mean you can work out the next day but you're not going to go at it like you went at it the day before so you have to be careful about how you spread things out, you know what I mean, you got to be careful, you got to take care, it doesn't take too many of those days where you feel like hell for you to quit, and I've seen so many people go down that path, you know what I mean, so, but your own personal inspiration is very important, You know what I mean? So, but your own personal inspiration is very important. You know what I mean? You have to be able to be inspired on a regular basis. And, and sometimes, and also don't be ashamed of your inspiration, man. It doesn't have to be

some noble inspiration, whatever it is. You might like to watch Rambo before you work out or something. I don't know. Whatever it takes. But most days for me, most, most days, I don't want to work out. Just is what it is. I think about it. I mull it over in my head. I start to feel it out in the day.

Oh my God, it's 10 o'clock in the morning already. When are we going to do this workout? I could probably get a break around 2. Maybe we go do a run, whatever it is. Oh my God, now it's 3. When am I going to work out? Maybe we'll go to the gym tonight. We didn't go to the gym tonight.

Now, you know. But when you get that workout in, man, you always feel good. You always feel better But most of the time guys That's the reality Because fitness is important to me Because fitness is a daily Thing that is in my head

If you think that I wake up every day Like where's the kettlebell at I can't wait to swing it No most of the time I don't even want to look at it. Most of the time it's just, oh, I got to do this. I got to do this. And why do you got to do this? Why do you got to do this? Well, for me, I'm a husband. I'm a dad. I'm five foot nine. You know what I mean? I'm a thin build kind of guy to begin with, you know, a little wiry Irish guy to begin with. And strength is important. Strength. And it's not, you know, it's not superhero talk either. It's not even superhero

strength. It's not even superhero endurance. Like I'm going to be the guy who saves the day when it all goes down. Your level of fitness and your level of endurance is about your day to day. It's about literally what you're able to accomplish in a day. Isn't it? I mean, think about it. accomplishing today. Isn't it? I mean, think about it. If we've got a list of duties to do, right? Let's say spring's coming. We got some fencing to put up. We got, maybe we got to build some raised beds. We've got a ton of dirt to move from place to place. You know, and then you got everything else that you do in your regular life too. If you've got better physical fitness and better endurance than the average person, then those jobs are doable and much more. You know, for a guy like me, it's about doing those jobs. It's about being a husband still. It's about being a very involved

dad still. And all that stuff takes energy, man. The only way you can get more of that energy is if you tell your body you have to convince your body that you're a lunatic that's it once you convince your body that you're a lunatic and that it's go it has to go okay well we gotta we gotta make sure that we have enough energy for this maniac. Because he's going to try to kill himself today. I can tell already. So let's make sure we have all the carbs we need. And all the energy and all the glycogen to go into those muscles.

Because it's 4 o'clock and he's up already. And it might be midnight before he goes to bed. And he's probably going to push the pace most of the day. And once you get your body thinking that way. Then your body is prepared for you to be a lunatic. On a day to day basis. Just is what it is guys. You program it.

You program it to understand. This guy is going to go to war every day. And we got to be ready. We got to set this thing up So that the heart's ready The lungs are ready How we store our energy All ready It's a very big part of the deal

Let's take a break on fitness 10.06 God We're going to have to do a part 2 of this one We're going to have to do a part two of this one. We're going to have to do a part two on this one. Let's talk about the Liberty Review. Because the Liberty Review is an interesting one. Maybe we should do a two-parter on Prepper Fitness.

Hmm. Man, it's so hard for me to do a two-part show. To commit to a show for one week is a nightmare for me, really, if I'm honest. But to turn it into a two-parter is even worse. But I do want to do this Liberty Review. It's 10.07 already. And I'd really like to talk about basic... Do I want to talk about basic exercises with you guys though

do a push-up i don't know i don't know if that's the thing right i do want to talk about the tiered approach we'll do it all tonight to hell with it we'll do it all tonight i want to talk about the tiered approach to prep or fitness, basically preparedness, right? Basically how you should be prepared to get that fitness each and every day. Because there's a lot of things you can do in and around your home to make sure that fitness comes easy. And that's really where you want to be, right? You don't want to be in a position where the only way you can get in shape is if you drive to the gym, because then you're going to have a bunch of days where you're sitting there trying to tell yourself,

uh, nah, right? Nah, I don't want to drive to the gym tonight. And that's kind of how it goes. So we got to be careful about that. So I'd really like to talk about how to outfit. How do you outfit this whole thing, home, workout routine, that kind of thing, so that at any moment, right? At any moment, basically, you have the ability to jump into a workout and get it done. It's just like, you know, it's like that gun that you have that's too big or the holster sucks and you never carry it because the holster sucks and it's not convenient or whatever the situation is, right? You could put it across a bunch of different lines. You got to make it convenient or else it won't happen. So, Liberty Review. Speaking for the new bulletin, tonight we give

you something entirely new and different. So this will be a controversial, to say the least, soul, to say the least. This will be a highly controversial Liberty Review. It will be somewhat related to training and fitness, but it's going to rub some of you the wrong way. And that's just what it is. The Liberty Review, for those of you who don't know, is a new segment where I just, you know, take something that I use on a regular basis or something new that I'm using or something. You know, most of the time it's prep related and talk about it, review it. How do I like it? You know, the whole thing. Last week, Lady Liberty comes home with The Oculus Quest 2

Okay, now it should be no surprise to most of you, right? We play video games We all play video games in the house Okay, it's just a part of what we do And you know what, it's a pretty big part too It really is You know, we bond a lot over video games. Me and my sons, the whole family, even me and my wife. Sometimes me and

my wife, we stay up, we play Super Mario, and we have a good time. That just is what it is. You can damn me, whatever you want to do. All I can do is tell you the truth. Okay, that's what we do. I've been pushing off this virtual reality thing. For those of you who don't know what the Oculus Quest 2 is, it's a virtual reality headset. That's what it is, right? It's crazy. It's astounding.

I mean, it's a wild thing. So we bring this thing home We unpack it We mess around with it And pretty quickly after playing with it For a very short amount of time I start to understand that there are some massive benefits To this thing Right

We're playing a game called Superhot. I know it sounds crazy, and it is a crazy-ass game, too. But it's this game called Superhot, and we'd played it before, but we didn't play it in the VR capacity. And basically, the premise is you're, it's very Matrix-esque. It's essentially like The Matrix in many ways, but it's minimalist. You see your two hands. There's a bunch of cover. There's a bunch of weapons, and there's a bunch of enemies. And you use whatever weapons you have at hand to dispatch those enemies.

Might be a handgun, might be a knife, might be a throwing star, might be a collection of all of those shotguns. The only thing I didn't run into was rifles, which was interesting, because in the console version there's rifles. But anyway, and you find yourself wrapped up in this crazy uh adrenaline inducing game where you are you know trying to trying to formulate tactics to keep yourself from getting shot by opponents and that's basically what the game is you know levels of that levels and levels of hide behind this grab that take, take that gun, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

And look, it's totally fake. Understood, right? It's so fake, in fact, that the slower you move, the slower time goes. That's one of the funnest parts about the game. So if you stop moving, time almost comes to a complete stop and the quicker you the more you move the faster time goes till it's back to full speed you know so so in the game you can grab bullets out of the sky if you want to you know if you're slow enough in your position right or you can block bullets with a gun it's a video game okay but you know what it also is it's an opportunity for you to put yourself in an environment that is super stressful

and involves firearms and involves people trying to kill you which is very rare firearms and involves people trying to kill you which is very rare and the virtual reality environment is totally different on your mental state than a video game it's very different i mean it's way different and obviously uh you know it's not real. But, man, there's something to it. There's something to it. And I would never say, look, buy virtual reality so you can train tactics and learn how to fight and learn how to shoot, right? No. Not yet, anyway.

It could get to the point where it's that good, you know, where you just have a literal range but you know then you would need a firearm that has some kind of kick and you need to be able to manage the gun somehow so it'll never be a substitute for the real thing however we're preppers and and we're preparing to be in situations that call not only on our firearms and our skills, but also on our mental stability, right? And our ability to act under extreme stress and duress. And the one thing about these games in VR is that they put you in that state. There's no denying that. There is no denying that. You hop into one of these games and you see it all the

time, right? You can watch it on videos. You watch people play virtual reality and they instantly go into this. You put a controller in some guy's hand who's 60, right? Put a controller in his hand, tell him to jump from this thing to this thing or tell him to run through a level of Call of Duty and it's like, I don't know, man. You know, know i don't get it i don't know the buttons right but the crazy thing about vr is is pull the trigger and the gun shoots you know hold this button to hold it and pull the trigger your gun shoots throw the knife punch that guy and there's something interesting about that kind of simulation. Now tonight, we took it to a whole new level. Look, I used to have something called the Xbox 360 Move, I think it was called. And the Move was like a little bar that captured your movements, and you could do some fun things

with it. You know, and I remember playing a boxing game on the move many years ago. And it was relatively fun. It was okay, right? I remember also having a Star Wars lightsaber fighting game on the move that was also kind of fun. Not bad, you know what I mean? I remember also throwing my shoulder out in one of the worst shoulder injuries I've ever had in my life. Fighting someone in a fake Star Wars lightsaber game. I'd never had an injured shoulder ever in my life.

I'd never had one so bad since. From all the weight lifting. And I'll never forget that count dooku through the shoulder in a lightsaber bell that's a good one but anyway so tonight we get this game called thrill of a fight thrill of the fight 10 bucks right 10 buck vr game thrill of the fight whatever let's have some fun right the whole family got in the youngest didn't want to do it but the whole family got into it we we cleared out the kitchen you know six by six foot ring and you go go in there and you know you don't have to make a fist or you hold on to the controller and try to you know avoid punches move around hit in in certain areas three three three-minute rounds, one-minute rest between rounds.

It was unbelievable. Number one, it's unbelievable fun, of course. Number two, it's a whole nother experience of simulation. Now look, I trained Muay Thai. I've sparred Muay Thai, right? I know what it's like to have a person on you who's going to hurt you for real. And not, you know, we didn't spar to hurt each other, but you know, you get caught with a, you know, whatever. You get caught with a punch or a kick in the right place, it hurts. So I know the difference, but I'll tell you what, from a cardiovascular standpoint, moving, and it's not the moving and the shadowboxing, right? I'll shadowbox for 20 minutes straight and I'm good.

But there's an added level in these VR simulations that is stress and adrenaline, right? It's like if I go out in my kitchen right now and shadowbox, I'll throw knees, right? It's like if I go out in my kitchen right now and shadow box, I'll throw knees, jabs, you know, work on technique, work on form and the whole thing. Bounce around on my toes, whatever. I'll work up a little sweat in 10 minutes, but I won't be huffing and puffing. But when I played this game, Thrill of the Fight, I was totally out of breath. One three-minute round, right? Because you're blocking and you're moving and you're under stress. I don't want to get hit.

I got to make sure that I can parry. And I got to make sure. And it understands all of this stuff. It understands when you're blocking. It understands when you're not in punching range. It understands when he throws a punch and misses you and you counter. First of all, if you're talking about fitness and you want to have fun in fitness, that's about the most fun and fitness you can have for $10. I don't care what it is because you're going to bounce around that ring to avoid punches.

You're going to throw punches. You're going to be gassed. I mean, my son's nine years old. He was laying on the floor after his three rounds right my wife like i told you great shape she sweated up a storm and me i mean i hit punching bags i'll do punching bag work for eight eight three minute rounds you know eight five minute rounds 120 minute round three or five three minute rounds, one 20-minute round, five three-minute rounds, Muay Thai, five five-minute rounds, MMA, all that stuff. I'll do that in the middle of summer.

But again, and I'll be dead too, don't get me wrong, that's brutal. But when you add the element of competition, when you add the element and the adrenaline of an active opponent. Now, they can't hurt you on VR, but you can still lose. So there's something on the line, right? When you hit a punching bag, there's nothing on the line, really. There's nothing on the line. It's just, you know, I'll hit hard when I want to hit hard. I'll move when I want to move.

Suddenly, you're in a situation where you don't get to own everything. You don't get to own, oh, I'll duck now because I want to duck now. No, you got to move now. You just let a combo off now. You got to move because the guy's moving in on you. Look, I know. It's video games. I get it.

But there's something to it, folks. I'm telling you. There's something to it. There is something to it, folks. I'm telling you, there's something to it. There is something to it all. It's an added level of training. It's just, and it's, it's the same thing with super hot, right? You fire off rounds down range and you get good at a certain thing, right? You get, well, you get good at a few things but if firing rounds downrange in the basement of some uh gun range or or in your backyard or wherever you do it is different than trying to stay alive right adding the element of multiple people around you you know because in vr these people come from all angles.

Your brain is computing. Even though your brain knows, look, when you get shot, you're not going to die. Your brain is still looking at it and going, what the hell is going on? This guy has a knife. He's shooting a gun right now. He's picking up a shotgun.

I've got to figure out how I'm going to get out of this thing alive. These are situations you rarely get to put yourself in you probably never hopefully never get to put yourself in so i'm reviewing vr tonight and i'm telling you it's a hell of a lot of fun and a little more right it's a hell of a lot of fun and a little more. If you want to measure your mental stability under stress, you want to measure your endurance under stress and see where you're at in a situation that, you know, in something more than just regular practice,

give it a whirl. Give it a whirl. Put it on. Have an open mind, I'm telling you, you'll be laughing, you'll be laughing, and then you might be wheezing, we're just two games in, I'm sure we're gonna have a ton of fun with it, but yeah, that's my Liberty Review for the week, the Oculus Quest 2, and the many benefits that exist, so I gotta finish this show out, because I know most of you are probably dead on your feet my liberty review for the week the oculus quest 2 and the many benefits that exist so i gotta finish this show out because i know most of you're probably dead on your feet like me

so let's let's wrap this up okay with a tiered approach to physical fitness um let me do a couple of announcements for ah forget announcements. I'll do announcements tomorrow on the Daily Audio Cache. We'll talk about Ham's study group and the whole nine yards. I'll do marching orders at the end of the show tonight. That's just what we're going to have to do. So the tiered approach. Oh, look at this. Democrats move to pull green from panels after GOP declines action.

So the Republicans decided not to take action. That's good. Did you guys lose sound? Sounds like the whole internet's kicking me off. Dude, give it a rest. Make it a part two. Melinda Lee, if you're the only one that lost sound, let me know. If anybody else is in chat that lost sound, let me know. You know what? That's an omen. That's an omen. We'll do our tiered approach to prep or fitness next week. Okay. That's what we need to do. I'm a man who pays attention to circumstance and coincidence. And when things like that happen, it makes me think to myself,

you know what, you got important information, let's hold it till next week. So next week for Prepper Fitness Basics, we'll go into this a little deeper. But what we'll focus on next week is setting, not the exercises, right? The exercises are very personal. Dude, I can't do that, I got the bad leg, I got a bad knee. I got a bad whatever. I understand that. Plus, no matter what I tell you to do, you're going to do the things that you're good at probably to start anyway, right? I got a strong chest. I'm going to do a lot of bench. What I want to talk about and where real success comes is in how you set up your home, how you set up

the world around you, how you set up yourself to get to a gym and all these things, right? You want to put a number of things in place so that fitness is almost always at arm's length. Because when it's, excuse me, when it's convenient, you'll do it. If it's inconvenient, then you'll be saying, in a year, you'll be saying, I got to get back in shape. Just like you're saying now, right? So let's talk about the layout and setting things up for success next week. I do appreciate you, everybody, here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. It has been a phenomenal year thus far. We're only one month in.

But here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network, what can I say? Life is good. Life is good. So let's, I guess we'll end the show. Let me bring up, I've got to get this word for word correct. So we'll end the show with the marching orders. Okay. All of the hosts thus far have been doing their marching orders.

I really do appreciate that. We're going to start to expand this thing. And we're going to capture a bunch of voices with the same marching orders. Okay. And I'm hoping that people understand how what kind of effect this could have if it gets big enough. Now, I don't know if it'll get big enough. You know, the egos could get in the way.

But we'll just have to see, alright? So, I'm going to do my marching orders over the stars and stripes forever because you just need this in America right now. You know, you need it. These marching orders are for our federal government, direct from the consenting governed. For now, anyway. We're the consenting governed for now.

The people demand that the federal government protect and adhere to the Bill of Rights. Email your congressman and ask them what the people should do when they see their Bill of Rights being dissolved before their very eyes. I hope you enjoyed tonight's show, PBN family. Dane D up tomorrow night. We might even have the Patriot Power Hour on tomorrow night for a special Thursday show. And that's it for me on the I Am Liberty Show. We'll talk soon. ¶¶ ¶¶ Muzica ¶¶
