Listen up, PBN family. If you want a viable alternate emergency communications method, every Sunday, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, we will be conducting a radio check with the community. You will need a POC-capable radio from SkyCom PTT. These radios will come equipped. with the Prepper's National Radio Network Talk Group. Our radio checks will be in said talk group.

Come 9 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, the Intrepid commander will lead off with a radio check. Bring yourself. Bring your SkyCom PTT radio. Bring a dad joke. And join the Prepper Broadcasting Network Emergent. Emergency Coms group. Visit Skycomptpt.com.

To get your radio. And look for the PBM button on the left under shop so we get credit. See you Sunday night. So the PBM button won't be there just yet. We've got some things to work out on the Skycom PTT side. But that is the announcement and will be the reoccurring announcement. for our emergency comms group to meet weekly every Sunday 9 p.m. Eastern be there, okay? I know some of you who are members out there have gotten back to me and told me that you have

radios already. That is a hell of a turnaround time. Being as I just mentioned it on the national preparedness month, I think it was the 13th or 14th show we had Mike Harris on from Skycom PTT. I don't know. I'm not going to go ahead. into the backstory. I'll make it simple and easy. You know what I mean? Skycomptit.com. They have incredible pop-capable radios for $199. $199. You know, you buy one for yourself, one for your wife. You can join the PBN or husband. You can join the PBN com group every Sunday at 9 p.m. The radio checks will be quick. It'd be in and out. You know, it won't be a big. It's not about this big show. It's not a podcast. It's not, it's a, it's a check. It's, is my radio working? Am I

receiving this? How people sound from different places across the, across the country? And, um, and then we go about our separate ways. And as I mentioned before, the whole thing is, I want you to have your radio in your hand once per week using it in the same way that you might call upon it in an emergency or disaster. So, to me, this represents, what I always wanted to achieve with our comms group, which is let's get a viable alternate communications option, right? I can't build your pace plan for you. Do you know what I mean?

To be quite honest with you, I'm a podcast host who is here to help you on your preparedness journey and to have, you know, have good conversation, make it entertaining. for many of you existed here at PBN even before I existed here and for many others you know you guys grew with us and

were built into this family I can't do everything for you you know what I mean but what I can do and what I wanted to do when Chin and I started talking about what can we do with an emergency comms group

an emergency comms meetup. What can we do that will actually make a difference, right? Like, I don't want to do a talk, a live stream about comms once per month or once per week where we talk about different radios and that kind of thing. You know, I'm not, first of all, I'm not into radios like that. I'm really not. You know, Chin is my saving grace. That's why I give them all the props in the world and call him the comms wizard here at PBN. He's the man. Chin says Pock and we say how high. Oh, God. So, sorry.

I couldn't resist. He's probably got a better word for it, but I might have to get him. We might all have to get shirts. Let's say that. Chin says Pock, and we say how high. That'd be pretty fun. So anyhow, that's happening. All right.

Tonight, and I'm sorry, I haven't been on, like, to be me very often. I haven't had a lot of time to be just James on the podcast, you know what I mean? I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I miss it, though. I miss hanging with you guys chatting about things. But it'll be back. Don't worry, it'll come back.

I got a really big burden lifted off me today. It's not a burden. I can't refer to it this way. It's not fair to my former self. But I'm 99% sure all the revisions, all the writings, all the things are in for the Ultimate Preppers Toolkit, my next book that's going to be published. And I'm blown away by it.

It's going to be an amazing book for everybody. And it really is a book for everybody. You know what I mean? There's not... The appendix of the book itself is largely... Sorry, I had a phone call that had to come through. Oh, and now I can't decline it. That's my favorite kind of phone call.

But it's largely an emergency, the back end of it, the back half of it, basically, not the back half, but the back of the book is an emergency binder, basically. Right? So it's a collection of the appendices that are all there for you to fill out there to do it your way.

I think they're a little late to the game on that, but I don't know how many people have those if you don't have one, you know, You should definitely have one. Mine is going to get upgraded and it's going to go into the binder with my Be Prepared Solutions plan. You know, I mean, look, there's some things that that plan spat out that I kind of took for granted. I hadn't done effectively and not until looking at it. That's sort of the benefit for a, you know, a prepper who's been at it a while to play around with these new technologies, guys,

because you, it's not about, I knew that when I put my information into Be Prepared Solutions.co, that I knew I wasn't going to be blown away by every sentence, right? But what I also knew is that just like talking to any person, right? You sit down and have a conversation with any person. And there's a really good chance that they're going to say something that you're never going to have really thought about before. or they're going to present a situation to you that you have never really considered. And there were some things in that plan, particularly the tear sheets in that plan that are tailored towards emergency contacts and emergency contacts for your kids to have. Very cool concept, man.

But, you know, there's been a large part of this prepping thing that has been relevatory. I don't even know if that's a word, relevatory, right? and what I mean by that, whether it's a word or not, a lot of it's been about revelation, right? Revelatory. What I said? Relevatory? Revelatory? A lot of it's been about revelation. A lot of the political right-wing, sort of conspiracy prepping, that whole sort of thing

has been, you know, dominated by revelation. And I'm just here to tell you, like, I'm really, really, really bored of revelation. not in the Bible. But I'm really bored of like, oh my God, oh my God, you can't believe what this senator did. Oh my goodness, you can't believe

what happened in Congress. Oh, wow, my God, you can't believe. The governor of this state did that and the governor of that state did this. And you cannot believe the corruption. The daycare sent the revelation after revelation after revelation, guys. Yeah, I'm over it.

I don't want to know. I don't want to discover any new things. I think, you know, it's like if the stove is on and I put my hand on the stove on the glowing orange stove and burn my hand and go, oh, the stove's hot, everyone. Like, how many times do I have to put my hand on the stove before I go, yeah, I'm really like 100% sure the stove is hot? that's where I'm at with politics. That's where I'm at with governors and the social, cultural war, the justice system, the lunatics who run things all up and down,

major cities in the United States, the DAs, the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's corrupt. We've got to move on to the next piece, right? And that piece is, what? What's next beyond the corruption? You've got a few options, right?

You can prepare for it. You can run from it. Or you can dismantle it. And I'm in this weird position because I know I'm not running from it, right? I know I've already prepared for it. But it's sometime in the very near future, I think it's going to come down to dismantling it also. And, you know, who cares if it's possible or not, right? You talk about the Democrat control in big cities and places like my beautiful city of Richmond, Virginia.

Who knows what's possible and what's not possible? You know what I mean? I don't know. I don't want to go on a diatribe about me becoming some sort of a politician because if it even happens, it's very far out. We've got enough fish to fry here on the Prepper Broadcasting Network, right? But I'm just saying, I know it gets you excited. I know it gets your heart beating a little bit.

But, I mean, for the last 10 years of... my life. I've existed in a world where every single day someone posts something. Oh my goodness, you wouldn't believe. You couldn't believe how on earth is it that this could be in a country like ours? You know what I mean? And people still go, wow, you're kidding. You won't listen. And look, even my wife do it. And my wife and I do it. We'll be like, did you hear such and such and such and such? So I know it's a fun game. And that's what it is, right? Tonight, nine, nine, p.m. I'm going to be going live 9 p.m. tonight to discuss the discounts from the National Preparedness Month. Interviews. There's a lot. There's free stuff. There's discounts. There's

a lot of things that are out there waiting for you throughout this month. And I just thought, you know, it'd be a good show to sit down and sort of put them all right out there for you to either write down or, you know, whatever, whatever you want to do with them. There's free canning classes at the Canning Deva website. We've just got a lot of stuff that I think's worth talking about in terms of discounts now that we're up and running for, what is it, 18 days. And I'm telling you, next week, man, it's going to go by quick. It's going to go by real fast. Before you know it, we're going to be looking down the barrel of the last five shows.

And Dave Jones, the NBC guy, is the grand finale for the month. he's going to be the grand pooh-bah of National Preparedness Month, the podcast series, because he, I don't know, why not? Who else? You know what I mean? Who else but Dave Jones, the NBC guy? And what I'd like to talk to him about is the importance of history in prepping. Right?

Like, at first when Dave Jones told me he was going to be a history teacher, I was like, oh, that's weird. And he had the, you know, the impeccable Dave Jones line. of, I tell them I can teach history real well because I live through most of it, which is phenomenal. But then you start thinking about it and you start thinking, like, why do people prepare? Right? What do people prepare for? Almost always built off of some kind of historical data, right?

Almost always we're dealing with some sort of historical data, be it, storm data, right? War, travesty of something. kind, right? Like some kind of sort of situation that we either see coming because we saw it in the past. We see it coming because we, you know what I mean? It's almost all tied

to history. No one wakes up and goes, I think it's going to just be better and better and better all the time. There's going to be no more storms, no more rain, no more wind, no nothing, no flooding. No lunacy at the ballot box, nothing.

So I better start putting up food and water. Right? I mean, you could argue that history might be one of the greatest, one of the greatest fuel sources for the prepping community of all. Right? The moment you see something like riots in the streets and you look back and see, what happens when people riot like crazy? What happens when, what happens when radical ideological parties get, come into power in countries? What happens when wars break out? What happens when economies crash?

What happens, right? Tell me all this historical stuff and tell me what's what. And before long, you're at line into Costco before you know. So don't listen tonight, folks, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time will be live at RumbleX and Instagram and the audio podcast will go up right here on Prepper Broadcasting Network. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a great weekend. It's going to be nice. It's going to drop down next week and move into the fall, like real fall, like real black pumpkin drinking fall. I'm drinking some black pumpkin from disaster coffee right now.

It's really good. Somehow it got better over a year's time. I drank this stuff last year and I felt that the pumpkin spice was a little bit over the top. I had to drink it with milk. but now I'm drinking it this year just flat, just black and it's great. It's kind of perfect, actually. But that's all I got for you today, folks. Come join us tonight live, 9 p.m. Eastern Standard.

We've got tremendous guests coming all weekend and into next week. Don't miss it. You're going to hear some familiar voices. You're going to meet some new people. And I can't wait, man. You know, this has been a bit exhausting. There's no denying it. but I think we'll do an national preparedness month, 30-day interview session forever now.

I just think that'll be a new PBN tradition because it's really fun to talk to people and meet up with people and all that kind of thing. It's like a prepper camp without the prepper camp, you know what I mean? All right, folks, enjoy your great weekend and I've been playing around with a lot of new sounds. So now you're going to listen to the survival scripts, uh, AI pharmacist advertisement, okay? Enjoy it.

It's fun, man. It really is fun. I'll talk to you soon. Your prescription is ready. Oh, a prescription? This is not you back up antibiotics. Mechazine. Amoxicillin?

Are you sure? Baxycycline? You don't have Backup antibiotics. Biotics you might need. Don't need this up the chance. Digit survival scripts.com today.
