Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil. The future has already arrived. Welcome in everyone. Coming to you live from the raspberry thicket. Can we all agree that with all the boisterousness and all the maneuvering and all the purchasing and this and that, nobody does lighting like God Almighty, does he? Who's got God Almighty beat in the lighting department? And as far as I'm concerned, we may just do surviving America outside from here on out.

It's one of those things. If we make it through today's show, then this might be the new look for surviving Americans. It's one of those things, you know what I mean? Oh my God, the comments are tiny. That's it, we're going back inside to hell with it. I picked blackberries by work this morning. Oh, they're so good, aren't they they it is sweltering heat out there J Ferg I

Didn't know you could turn comments on and leave them on in the corner like this. This is cool This is my first time. This is the way I do business just in case you guys are wondering This is my first time I ever used the mobile app for stream yard. So why wouldn't you do it on your live show? Everybody's gonna watch. Thanks for joining. We are live at YouTube. We are live at X. We are live at Rumble.

If you're joining us, please do subscribe. It's very important to us. It's very important to us here at PBN. You know, this video stuff is not my favorite. Sitting in front of the microphone, podcasting with audio only really is my heart. And so if you guys want to keep seeing video, just do me a favor and subscribe. All right? Subscribe, like, leave a comment, tell me you like the video or something like that because I feel the pool of isolation. I do do video on Instagram and I enjoy that a lot, but most of it is really good interaction.

All of my buddies show up over there. It's fun. But for the YouTube, YouTube's always on your back. They're always telling you something you did wrong. My one threat, one solution sound bite that I've been running on podcasts, they yelled at me for that this morning. Oh, you can't run that on a short show or a long show or this show.

I don't know. Life is just simply too good to spend my time trying to appease algorithms. And I'm sorry. Really who I'm sorry for most is people like Jordan because I feel like if she had a little bit more of a taskmaster commander who was dedicated to, I don't know, bending the knee to Google. We might all be rich, who knows? I mean, it's a good time to be a prepper, right?

It's good, it's a good time and it's a bad time. I don't know, is what it is. So I don't know, what do you guys want to talk about today? I have a few things in mind. One thing I won't be doing with this type of a show is swapping in and out of media you know what I mean going from I can do things like video we can run like different assets pretty excuse me pretty easily so that might be a way to to make this show pop a little bit let's try you want wanna try one with me? Why don't we test the app?

Thank you for your time. We're testing things on the live show. Let's go. ["The Last Supper"] By the way, whatever happened with that meeting? That got real quiet, right? But that's cool, we can do that kind of stuff out here. It's summertime, I'm gonna be outside. What happened with that meeting? That got real quiet, right? But that's cool.

We can do that kind of stuff out here. It's summertime. I'm going to be outside. It's nice. You know what I mean? We'll probably be doing more shows like this now that I popped a cherry on the app. What an old term. I bet you if I said that to my kids, they wouldn't even know what I'm talking about.

So what happened with the Iranian media meetup? I mean Iranian Russian meetup in the media. That information came through early Monday. I put it on the Monday live right? We did the longer Monday live. I hope you guys dug that. That was fun. We did the longer Monday live and nothing that by that evening it was ceasefire. The next morning Donald Trump's cursing at the media, which I love by the way. Did you guys like the presidential F bomb? Did you guys like that? See I like cursing.

I do. I'm a fan. I know it's not biblical or I guess it's not biblical. I personally have never read and if anybody can quote, I'll read it today, but I've never personally read any of the biblical stuff about not cursing. You know what I mean? Like I don't know what chapter and verse says you can't say the F word. But I'll tell you one thing, I love it. I love using it. I love

hearing it. What I really love is hearing it when it's genuine. You know what I mean? It's wonderful. It's just a way, I mean, you know, it's part of the language. It is what it is. I'd love to read it though, for sure, in the Bible and see what's what. Doing my best to be good, as good as possible these days. You guys want to talk about, but I want to know what did Russia and Iran say to each other? There was a big thing going around Monday in the afternoon in the PBN Back Channel and it was all about do you trust the Iranian ceasefire?

Do you trust Iran? Do you trust, you know, turns out maybe we shouldn't trust Israel either, you know. Maybe we ought not trust Israel either because they kind of dropped the ball on the ceasefire too. But you know, it is what it is. Do I trust Iran and Russia? Not even a little bit. There's a part of me, the intuitive part of me really says like, sabotage, sabotage, sabotage. That's where we're at. That's where we're going. Right before I got on, let me see. I'll probably blow up everything.

I think I remember Jordan telling me about not putting, not going to different windows. But before I got on, I saw that ICE arrested some Iranian nationals yesterday or this morning, not sure the date. But I'm sure there's implications there why does my hat look so crooked wear my hat like this you can see the logo properly this is actually right out of the gray man kit man this thing right here this thing with the the patch came off my EDC bag but it's you know it's one of these guys I don't know Lima tango is where it's at

telling you right now you need backpacks pre-built backpacks for survival neat reasons bugging out the whole nine yards they're the way to go they're the way to go man I haven't even gotten into breakfast. Let me sit amongst the food. This thing is when you're inside of this thing, it's so ridiculous. I'm like, I like literally chopped a pathway in here. I didn't chop a pathway in here to record. I chopped a pathway in here so my son could come out here and eat them and put them in a little bin for himself

It's done really well Dumb to this whole thing came from one cane One little cane of raspberry that was given to me by my mother-in-law and actually I planted it like out behind the fence in my head I didn't understand shit back then so in my head I was like Wherever I plant this raspberry it will grow in the direction that I wanted to grow in right In my head, I didn't understand shit back then, so in my head I was like, wherever I plant this raspberry, it will grow in the direction that I want it to grow in, right? Having no idea that the sun's over yonder, so it's going to pull all the canes deeper into the yard, which is fine.

I don't really care that much. I really don't care this time of year, I'll tell you that much when there's raspberries everywhere. But it's just funny the things that you assume when you start growing food and stuff. I plant this seed and it will grow exactly where I want it to grow and do exactly what I want it to do. I plant this tree and it will do exactly. You learn a lot, folks.

You learn a lot on your journey to self-reliance and independence. There's no doubt about it Let's talk about the continuity for a minute We are still running our members Discount use the promo code B to promo code B letter B number two and you can get 25% off annual membership and even lifetime membership. I am just being totally accosted by mosquitoes right now. They don't really like me that much, though.

I must have one of those weird blood types. But anyway, B2, promo code B2, 25% off. In just a case you're wondering right annual membership Massive amounts of benefits our continuity meetings will be doing a members-only podcast tomorrow Nobody gets to hear from me tomorrow tomorrow is is members-only podcast At least in the live sense and Yeah, it's it's a thing we may have to relocate do you see what's happened It's a thing. We may have to relocate. Do you see what's happened?

We may have to relocate because I did not spray myself and we'll see. We'll let it roll. Anyhow, go sign up for your membership. 45 bucks for the year. What are you waiting for? Seriously, 45 bucks for the year. It's so cheap. If anybody who knows anything about business, if I like hired a

business consultant or something like that, he would beat this shit out of me. That's exactly what would happen. He would absolutely beat me in the head. He would be like $45. Do you like poverty? What's your deal? $ dollars for a year's worth of content, right? Absolutely insane. It's terrible terrible Business model, you know what? I mean, I mean even at $60 is probably no good. Oh No, we can't do it here either. We're a little bit on a hill. Well, you might have to deal with the The intrepid crooked commander how about that there we go

there we go yes well come join us man seriously come join us it's a it's a heck of a program that we offer and you know the written word, the videos, the discounts, the courses. I see a lot of you members doing courses lately. That really makes me happy, by the way. That really is a, that's a winner because I put those courses up a few years ago and they were very taken very sparsely by our members. We do an urban survival relocation course. We do a forging course.

We have a home security course up there. Our home security course is so good because we did it with Dave Jones, the NBC guy. So what we did is we took a guy who basically post 9-11 did vulnerability assessments for all the bases in the Middle East or lots of the bases in the Middle East. And that's the dude you want to do the home security course with. You know what I mean? So it's a great one. But let's talk about the continuity meeting because that was a good time.

And we're going to be sort of doing this a similar one. Sorry, we got to go somewhere where it's not so sunny. I can't look at you We're gonna be doing sort of a similar one for The month of July. So if you missed it and you're sad, even if you are a member or something like that, it's all good Because we will be getting back into it. All right. So basically we're dealing with Chicago under siege. All right. Chicago under siege, 4th of July celebration and massive terrorist attack on the city. That's about all I'll divulge in terms of the details. You have to understand, like, the members are the people who support us here.

They really do take good care of us, so I can't give you guys the whole breakdown of what we did. Well, I couldn't give you guys the whole breakdown of what we did. Well, I couldn't give you guys the whole breakdown of what we did anyway, because we don't even record the content. I do want to give a special shout out to the Firewolf, because the Firewolf took it upon himself to sort of LARP as our terrorists, one of our two terrorist snipers in the area. And he's the guy for the job. You know what I mean?

And it really added a fun element to everything you know it added it added a different layer to the whole meeting we had more people at the continuity I think that we ever had before that was a good time hey can't eat my tripod dude we're in a giant yard go do something the puppy finds one thing he can chew on the on the tripod and wants to pull the whole show over So Like I said these I don't know that I've ever been a part of anything campfire discussion even PB and round table that is as effective and as fun as sort of dialing in and doing the continuity meetings.

Because we really do take a scenario that is pretty damn well thought out and dig into how we would survive it, how the city would survive it, prepare for it, those kinds of things. You leave almost overloaded because you're not just, you know, it's not me sitting there going, this is what you should do. Here are the top five things you should do in a decision. Right? It's not just my input, it's everybody's input. And that's where it gets good.

That's where it gets real good. The prep and Patriot long time member called it Dungeons and Dragons for preppers. And I think, I think it's pretty apt, you know, it is, I think it's pretty apt. And we really saw it kind of go that direction. I don't know, I never really played Dungeons and Dragons. It's like that, you know what I mean? It's different than anything I think we've done before. So you wanna join the continuity, you wanna be a part of these meetings, pbnfamily.com,

use the promo code B2 to sign up, get your annual membership started or your lifetime membership started and be there July 28th for the next one, you know? And for all you members who missed, except one, and you know who I'm talking about Yeah, come to the next one, you know come to the night if you missed and it come to the next one That's all it's a good time. It's well worth it. It's well worth about an hour

Well, we they usually go about an hour our name In the world of canned preparedness, which is what I see happening at large, there are companies and services outside of preparedness that I think are making preparedness, or outside of Prepper content creation that are making preparedness cool really cool like I was looking at a

company today that If they're called ace XR something like that and they're a VR company that gives you a well doesn't give, you purchase a gun and a plan and they can take this area behind me and turn it into a dynamic target range that you can run through. Now for those of you who've listened to me for any duration, you know I love virtual reality. I think it's amazing. I think it's amazing for a lot of things. But I want to try that. That looks pretty sweet. I think

it's my job to get out and find those things. Actually, it's Chin's job. Thanks, Chin. It's Chin's job to get out and find those cool things. I only say that because he sent me the link and he's always sending me links to like potential PBN sponsors and fun, you know, stuff that's going on out there in the world that I should know about. But I do feel, I don't know if you guys feel it, but I do feel like the sort of there's like an homogenized, is that the right word? It's kind of like that. It's like a homogenized prepper standard that's taking over preparedness content creation or prepping content creation at large. It's getting a little boring.

You know what I mean? So I don't know. That's just my feel. I'm just giving you my sort of my feel on the prepping content creation world. Because for me me I'm always trying to do something different get guys thinking about something different. I got a really great email from a member yesterday about that. It's really wild when you get an email from a member and they talk to you like you talk to them.

and they talk to you like you talk to them. That's what this email was. It was crazy. I'm reading the thing and I'm like, and I love the guy, I mean, he's an amazing member for sure. I'm reading and I'm like, oh my god, this is what it's like to listen to and talk to me. I guess that's just finding your people, you know what I mean? That's just the whole finding your people thing, right? So what else? What else in the world? What else in the world of preparedness? I'm really deep in some of the Lima Tango Survival, our great sponsor Lima Tango Survival. I'm deep in their gear right now, digging through their Greyman bags, seeing what they've

got in there to offer, but doing some work for them on the side. It's they're amazing, you know. They they also sell gear like by the by the each a la cart, if you will. What's born to brap saying here? Hot weather. Oh man, I can't see shit. How do I make this bigger? Make my screen bigger. Double tap. The broadcast could end at any moment today, just so you know. I'm playing with the app, so at any moment, the entire broadcast could come to an end.

Born to Brap. Hot weather. Morning hot weatherap, hot weather, morning hot weather peeps. Okay, I got you. That's how we do it. We can double tap the comment itself and it'll come up. I'll tell you what, I want to give a shout out to Phil Rabelais from the MatterFacts Podcast because he told me probably two years ago or three years ago to think about getting StreamYard and yeah good look good look because this is fun this could get way funner too. Moving shows they seem like they'd be fun too. We could do all kinds of stuff through StreamYard with the live audience.

It is what it is, it's tech, but the signal looks good. You guys hear me fine, you'd be telling me if it was all messed up by now. Look, if you're out there watching Surviving America today, it'll be episode 40 next week. Do me a favor, subscribe, make sure that you follow or whatever it is that you're doing. Get involved, dig in, share this thing with the people in your life. That's the only way we grow. You know what I mean? One thing's for certain, man. The competition for sitting in front of your camera and talking is fierce.

It's fierce. If you're sitting in front of a camera talking or sitting in front of a microphone talking, man, it's changed. It's a fierce world out there. People are always grabbing for your attention. It's really strange to me, but maybe not so much. People do like consistency, but we here at PBN have just the type of a program that is so different because we have so many different people talking all the time, you know what I mean? We have so many different voices to enjoy and they're all captured in a variety of ways. I don't know, it is what it is. I know Jordan did some really

awesome lives, man. Her lives are doing really well. Some of our biggest lives are the Phoenix survival by a long shot. Thank you. Just is what it is. It's gonna be another big hot one. I got my sights set. I'm gonna be interviewing Paul Boulogne today as soon as we get off here. But I really got my sights set on some outdoor workout today, some prepper fit and health today. I've got a time lapse video for you guys. You gotta see it. It's hilarious.

Me humping this gigantic tire up a hill in the hundred degree weather It was a nightmare, but a fun nightmare one of those what nightmares my forearm was so tired right like from Correct gripping the treads on the tire to lift it up That it was like week yesterday, you know is one of those situations I Have a relationship with a firestone tire. I can't let her go. I can't let her go. We've been together about three years, you know. She really helps me with my problems. She's really, really good with that kind of thing.

It's a phenomenal relationship between a man and his tire, I'll tell you that. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, it's just a big ass, heavy ass, firestone tire that when the weather breaks like this, it's just the best workout to run up to the field and flip the tire and run back home exhausted and destroyed, rehydrate and get back to being a human. You know, it's one of those demon killers, if you know what I mean, right? Demon killers. What the, what the, what the, oh, you know what else we got up yesterday? Yesterday, we put up so much promote on this damn network, man.

We need like an artificial intelligent commercial maker or something like that. Oh, I did. I'm playing around with the this is kind of cool, actually. You might be hearing more about it. It's it's an app called Sitrep. And it's basically like, I don't want to call it a news app. Cause it's not that it's a threat alert app for sure, but it's also sort of other big goings on around the entire globe. And the cool thing about it is you can scroll the physical globe on the app and

click where you want to see what's going on. And then it'll give you spit out a bunch of different information about what's happening. It's really well done. I like it. I don't know that I'll use it a ton because you know I don't know. I have my days right? I have my days and moments when I want to get deep into the news and then I have my days and moments when I don't. The homesteading phoenix, yeah for real, no doubt about it. Yeah your content, since you do it on your phone, you'll be able to show us all kinds of stuff too.

What can I show you guys? We could go around a little bit. I don't have any link to my son oven, but my son oven's sitting over here waiting to be used. It's sitting over here like, when are you going to open me up, dude? It's been 100 degrees for two days. Let's bake something. Today's the day to bake some bread. I need more hours in the day.

I've been talking to my wife a lot lately about how angry I am at sleep. And I do love to sleep. It's not an insomnia issue, you know what I mean? But I just get angry at sleep sometimes because I think what could I get done if I had eight more hours instead of laying in bed vertical snoring, you know? I don't know. Here's what it is. Life is fun, man.

It's just a fun, good time. And going to sleep is such a waste of it. You know what I mean? It's such a waste of a third of a life. A third of a life drooling on the pillowcase. You know what I mean? I wonder if in our cybernetic integration, if we'll be able to do away with sleep. You know, seems like a

seems like a thing that corporations would love, right? Yeah, let's get these people immortal and unable to sleep. Perfect. And work them to death. Or no, not to death. Perpetual work forever. They never have to go home. Like China, you know what I mean? The gooseberries are ripe. You want to see the gooseberries? Maybe we'll walk around a little bit. I'll show you some fun stuff here that's happening. We did some, that's a trampoline.

I got some, I don't know how many of you guys do the pumpkin thing. Every year we try to do more of the pumpkin thing and this year we've tried to do more of the pumpkin thing and this year we've got the pumpkins happening pretty early. So I'm hoping that they'll do well. I have no idea what they are. They came from this really cool pack. It was like called like a spooky pack or something like that. And it was just a ton of different pumpkin seeds. And that's perfect for me. So we sowed a bunch of weird pumpkins, and we'll see what happens with them. I really don't know what they're gonna be like.

Let's shrink this thing down a bit. It could be, let me find a good one. This one's not bad. We've kind of went hard on the gooseberries, to be honest with you. But these guys are finally, well, I'll show you the plant and I'll show you the berry. How about that? The gooseberries are finally ripe. They turn into like little single served grapes. They're not nearly as good as a grape, you know what I mean? They're not bad. They're like, I mean, they really

do remind me of like a sour grape, like a super sour grape. But the more purple they get, the more sort of dynamic the flavor gets. And they're good. They're good. They've, we've eaten a lot of them, but I think nature enjoys them a lot more than us even because there aren't many left from this bush. But they're good, man. And they're super easy. Like I always tell you, they have thorns and stuff. So they're good to go.

Back here in my ravaged garden, the garden doesn't even hardly exist this year. But the garden is all up front. We did it all up front, or lots of it up front this year. But I do want to show you one of my favorites. One of my favorites that are prolific year over year and I do nothing, which is why they're my favorite, right? And these are the pawpaws. The pawpaws are amazing.

The pawpaws got about two, three months, no, two months. End of August, early September. These guys will be just soft and creamy, unbelievable. Like a, like a banana and a mango made sweet, sweet love. That's what you get in your pawpaw. You know what I mean? That's the progeny right there. I don't know. I don't know what else to tell you. Anybody know what you can do with red elderberries? I got red elderberries too. I can't really grab them. They're so high.

But high above me here, I've got, they're naturally occurring. They came, just came out of nowhere. Here's one that we've never quite gotten to work. It's a massive vine now. I mean, it's huge. I think I need to plant another. I planted a mate for it, you know, like a pollinator for it last year, but it didn't survive. This is the hardy kiwi. This him? This is him. I mean, he's getting so crazy. He's wrapped up in

this pawpaw tree. I'm just taking over. He's up in this pawpaw tree. I'm just taking over. He's up in this pawpaw tree now. Yeah, I don't know. This is a labor of love, this guy. He's been around a long time and he's getting huge. What I will tell you about it is they grow, man. They grow. He doesn't get a lot of sun back here.

If you look, we got a lot of trees. He doesn't get a ton of sun, but, man. Doing his thing. Doing his thing. I'll go sit here, we'll finish to show up on this raised bed that's been eating alive. This raised bed I usually do like tomatoes in But it's it's just been completely eaten by raspberries this year and I didn't break I didn't really cut them back I didn't beat him back whatsoever. I said, you know what screw it is what it is. I was kind of looking for I Was kind of looking to see what we could do with

Potted plants this year. Because I know even though I don't have like an enormous backyard, the Apaches. That's a low one. No, that's a hospital. That's a hospital, Hilo. They, yeah, believe it at that. I have no flat ground in front of me right now. The only problem with this thing. So what else, folks? What else? What else did we get into? The puppy is with me. The new guy. What's up new guy? You're getting big now, huh? You want an inspirational goodbye? What do you want? What do you want from me at the end

of Surviving America? I gotta go prep for the next show. Running out of time. Yeah, this was fun. The outside show is fun. I think you'll see more of me outside doing the old show is fun. I think you'll see more of me outside doing the old, the old PBN thing. I like it. I think we've got a good potential out here. The lighting is always great. The audio is pretty good too. No necessary, I got like lights here and here and here and behind and there's the up light on and all that kind of stuff and it just did man Where's you out? You know what I mean? So Look, no matter what the news says folks There's one thing that's for certain those of you who are pushing towards self-reliance and independence are going to live a better life through the 2020s, 2030s, possibly 2040s. It's that simple.

We're all going to be affected by AI. Our jobs are going to be affected by AI. Our income is going to be affected by AI. The more that you produce as opposed to the more that you depend on, the better off you're going to be because of that. opposed to the more that you depend on, the better off you're gonna be because of that. It's gonna be a much better situation for you if you're better prepared for something like losing your job, like the world changing in these dramatic ways. Exponential change,

like things we can hardly keep up with are on the horizon. I really With the doom scrolling that is the news anymore with the nightmare that is world affairs with the nerve-racking nature of existence at large like you'd need a base to stand on I Always say putting up food putting up calories I always say putting up food, putting up calories, whether it's canned foods, whether it's dry box, dry foods from the supermarket, whether it's bulk foods packed up in packed fresh USA dot com Mylar bags, right?

And five gallon buckets like you need some food security, you need some calorie security in your life, you've got to make sure that you're... if all fails, you eat. Same thing with water, right? Same thing with water. My biggest solution with water has always been rain barrels. It's just that simple. It will rain, you know. You will capture water, you will have access to water. But I will not discount the fact that storing bottled water in the house is what you will use more than the rain barrel water. You know it is specifically and particularly in a short-term disaster. That's what you're gonna use. You're gonna go for that

bottled water, you're gonna go for gallon water jugs. I like gallon water jugs myself. But we're a convenience driven society so it's much more likely that you meet your hydration needs with bottled water. I don't want to go through the whole rigamarole but if I had to worry about a top three in terms of preps that you can make, things that you can do, right? Like you definitely want to focus on food and water. And you want to focus on power. You want to be generating power when the lights go out. You want to have a way to do that. I'm a brand machine today. Sarah Hathaway. We got a big announcement coming

for you members with the changing Earth audio drama too, by the way. All right. I got to get out of here folks. Food, water, power. If you want to worry about something, you want to improve something in your life, start with those three. I always attest you want to have about three months worth of stuff to sustain you for a bug in situation. I just think you're going to bug in, you're going to stay home and in three months you

can make any kind of plan you need to make as the world turns you know what I mean all right don't forget to like and subscribe and all that and share and Help us out man and also promo code Be too you got it PBN family calm. We will see you soon folks folks. It's been Surviving America.
