Society in every state is a blessing the government even in its best state is but a necessary evil Funny is that Welcome into surviving America, folks. How's it going? You know, you don't see me. It's not an Eric. There's no critical error. There's no error whatsoever.

The reality is what I may pop on. I'm definitely here. This is not artificial intelligence, but I I Don't know for some reason today. I wanted to do something different. I Needed an I am Liberty show Surviving America is the second iteration of the I am Liberty show you which used to be Well my first podcast before all the podcast networking, before all the video, before all the speaker, way back in the blog talk radio days.

And every so often, I do an I Am Liberty show that was just purely stream of consciousness. And what people don't tell you about that is It's a tremendously healing thing one of the secrets of podcasting when you when you podcast solo or with guests is It's really valuable, you know what I mean, it's a real valuable thing. It's a wonderful thing if you have No desire whatsoever to put your voice out there in the public sphere you could still do a podcast and just never publish it morning Jay Ferg and the sheer like the sheer process of talking and talking about things that are on your mind out loud. Dude, it's therapy.

I mean, Jay Fergie and chat can attest it really is therapeutic. I remember going through a tough breakup in an early day high school and. It was like me, I think it was like 10th. It was about 10th, 11th, something like me. I think it was like 10th. It was about 10th 11th something like that and This is before podcasting, you know 2003 2002 probably and I Remember literally talking myself to bed about it all You know just just and the sheer act of saying it out loud. I think where we got in trouble is we took a high paid person,

sat them in a chair in front of us. They gave us a comfy couch and started writing prescriptions. What the reality is, though, is it really helps to say it out loud. Whatever it is, you know, I think it's huge. Welcome Instagram. Holy shit, Instagram is working today. I don't believe it. Everybody piling into the Instagram.

What is up? I did not expect it. I did not expect it. Instagram, I don't know how well the Instagram is going to do this morning. This is not a very visually stimulating operation today. Like I said, I may hop on later, but what I wanted to do with you this morning is, and I kind of screwed it up already because I already took my first sip of coffee, I want to take my first cup of coffee with you guys. I wanted to peruse the internet. I

wanted to give you my first sort of thoughts on everything. Go to a few websites I go to in the morning before I really get rolling and just do that thing Yeah, that's it. That's what I wanted to do today Fire up the old machine you know and Go go to a few websites that I like to go to first and foremost, of course is future danger comm I Go to future danger.com I go to future danger.com to see what the Patriot power hour guys have posted to see what those two fundamentally future Dan has featured over there. I don't do a massive like digestion of news every single day but there is there is something to like getting the

shape of it all getting the shape of the world in the morning seeing what the hell people are thinking about talking about what they're into not into you know that kind of stuff and the one thing about future danger comm is you usually run into at least one thing That you either forgot to mention to the to the listening audience like like when we were sitting in Dave Jones office downstairs And all the sudden he says The Pennsylvania 911 systems of a statewide outage

And I think that happened a Saturday might have been I think it was it might have been Friday night Death toll in Texas reaches 119 a search crews race against time labs lose control of pathogens. We have Not out of China for a change we have a Dutch lab that breeds a hundred percent fatal mutant bird flu that spreads between mammals that's probably worth reading that's probably worth unsold homes surge nationwide is the housing market stalls that's one that I didn't see coming. Huh? Hmm. Well, this is what it is, right? I guess when you're

your average fifteen hundred square foot home costs eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars, right? Yeah, I guess that people kind of put that off, put that whole home buying thing off. How do we get this cost of goods, this cost of living thing under control? Instagram, what's your thoughts? How do you get the cost of living under control? What would you do? What would you do? There was a time when I looked at it and I would say like, I think people just want too much. And I do think that that's part of it. But I also, it also feels now like we've crossed that threshold. It feels like we've crossed it. It really does. It feels like we've started down a path now where it's like a pressure cooker.

You know what I mean? Like how much pressure can a person take at such an early stage of life the home buying process the mating process the job market and so forth it's like it don't feel right it feels strange it feels bloated and disgusting and revolutionary right it feels like it feels like the revolt is in the air Inevitable inevitable in a situation like this Modernity dot news Dutch lab breeds 100% fatal mutant bird flu that spreads between mammals Engineered strain spread between ferrets caused brain damage and led to fatal organ failure.

Oof, lovely. Of course, a government-funded lab in the Netherlands created what researchers label a mutant strain of H5N1 bird flu virus capable of spreading between mammals and causing 100% mortality under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. The findings add to the long list of instances international pandemic instigation and coordination. The new experiment was conducted at Wagening bio veterinary research using what the study describes as the three-phase HPAI H5N1 virus. I'm going to be honest with you, this is about one of my most terrifying fears when it comes to

when it comes to the freaking murdering massive amounts of people. Because it's not that hard to set up a lab we saw the Chinese doing in San Francisco Jay Fergie in chat says the pay has to go up or the cost of everything has to go down or it will all implode yeah perfect well put well said Jay Fergie well said I do think that's what it is. It does seem that way. You know, it doesn't matter how many ice agents you put out on the streets.

It doesn't matter how many police we've we've hire. If everyone's living like Aladdin in the beginning of the movie stealing, you know, stealing loaves of bread and apples to survive. It's just really strange to me. The raising prices of things is so wild. How things can go up so fast. Or how things could go up generationally so much. You know.

It's going to, you know, I think what's really going to happen in all honesty, in terms of economic and unless they build an army of robots to protect themselves, I really do think we're headed towards a. Like a. French revolution type situation. That's what it feels like. The rich and powerful will be targeted. This Epstein business isn't helping their case either, I can tell you that, or the ditty for that matter.

How long until, for a long time, at least the right wing has been on the side of like, let people make as much money as they want mark my words That's not gonna stay that way. You know, it's just not gonna stay that way. You're not gonna have the same sort of Cheerleading squad for corrupt capitalism That you have had There is I could I can tell. I can tell myself. I can tell myself. You look at the greater good.

You look at the tax cuts. You look at the unfair advantages, the work with the governments, governments, right? And you also look at like a corporation's ability to have no alliance to anyone or anything or any country. And very quickly, you start to... It just starts to wear you down. ability to have no alliance to anyone or anything or any country. And very quickly start to, it's just starts to wear you down. You start to look around at the, the American people.

I mean, look around at the people who, who worked night and day to build these corporations at the, you know, at the, uh, employee level, right? These people who used to get pensions now no more pensions. You know what I mean? They're dependent on a social security check from the government. That ain't cutting it. You see people coming up who don't have enough money to get, you know, the basics of life. And on top of all of that, these corporations are like, well you need a degree, so if you want to work for us, we'll pay you, but you need to get a degree, if you want to work for us you know we'll pay you but you need to get a degree so you need to go five hundred thousand dollars in debt and then then start working for us and maybe

we'll hire you maybe maybe we'll hire you for five years and then maybe we'll replace you with some Indian people or maybe we'll hire you for five years and then we'll place you with AI and good luck with your debt. We don't care. We're a corporation. We're making plenty of money. You know, the shareholders are rich. Black rock owns everything anyway. So I'm telling you, I'm telling you the age of the age of the common working class

man defending the rich guy. And mean uber rich right uber rich guy who makes three hundred and fifty times more. In the average person these days are coming to an end you can do it you can do it to the nineties you do it to the early two thousands because making money kids were make coming out of college getting plenty of jobs You know what I mean making money making good money Get married doing the family things doing the American dream things It's getting close it's getting damn close folks. It's getting damn close. I'm not saying that America will go socialist But I'm telling you right now the target there will be a common enemy that That exists and it's gonna be those super rich CEOs. We're gonna look back at it

Luigi and we're gonna say oh Yeah, that's probably where that's probably where the rubber met the road now that was a rich kid anyway, but still Again, I don't see it. I Don't see it happening. But what's up everybody over there popping in? Zach's fishing. What's up? What do you fish for David? Joe a hundred a Stratos new car garage Alejandra Stratos new car garage

Klim what do you guys think about? Tim Kennedy Yeah, Tim Kennedy fans out there. I was a big fan of Tim Kennedy for a long time. I I Watched him sort of come up through the UFC and stuff and Like the military stories like to sort of get after it attitude Really like if what if there was one thing

that I really appreciated about Tim Kennedy it was that I Felt like he was a goofball But a hard worker a guy who went through some stuff at an early age But what I really felt about Tim Kennedy was like this is a guy who has no reason to bullshit and And he even said things about the Second Amendment that I didn't like Thank you, Phil matter of fact podcast for bringing that to my attention But I always felt like he was the kind of guy that didn't you know He'd been through so much done so much

Live this sort of you know, get it done today lifestyle that there was no reason for a guy like him to lie and then Now it comes out that Tim Kennedy lied about having ever had a Bronze Star on many podcasts and I can't I can't understand it you know what I mean I don't understand it far from civilization tell us about your experience you know I'm sorry I'm yelling at the Instagram chat people I ain't been alive over here in a while It's fun to see everybody fall in and see the different names

of people who show up. But thank you, everybody, for joining me. Today is going to be a very different kind of show. Today is going to be a stream of consciousness type show. OK? You are experiencing my first cup of coffee of the day. And that is just what it is you know just is what it is we're gonna peruse some more news we're gonna look

around the internets shit we might even go over some emails together who knows see the chinese um kung fu robots yet that's pretty interesting let's go to the trump hating rag that has become the drudge report as i tell you things change you know Let's go to the Trump hating rag that has become the Drudge Report. As I tell you, things change, you know? Things change. You see, over at the Drudge Report, they're taking pictures of Donald Trump's hands. Again, taking pictures of Donald Trump's hands as if we can make this sort of...

They're trying to touch the wires between us bruise on his hand I haven't seen a bruise on the man's hand yet I see all kinds of pictures they send me all kinds of things I mean I've been around old people man like a lot I had grandparents watch them get real old parents in-laws I know what it looks like when an old person gets bruised there's a picture on the Drudge Report right now, Donald Trump's hand. It just looks like a hand.

It looks like a hand. Alarming bruise on Trump hand. The swollen ankles. The Drudge has fallen so far. It's unbelievable. I go there for a laugh. I go there for the sheer chance that there could be a good story, something that would really

be interesting, you know what I mean? And then I also go for the laughability of it all. I'm just being honest with you. Ding. What up, everybody? Yeah, that's what I want to be today. That's how I feel today Some days I feel like this full screen. Hey everybody, you know, and then someday some days I feel like stick me in this little hole here

for those of you listening via audio only I just popped on the video and Just playing around with video stuff Still not a huge fan of video guys the reason I wasn't on it in the beginnings because I was like I Planned on looking at my screen a lot. That's all you know what I mean The magic knuckles Trump has launched as many airstrikes in five months as Biden did in four years. Hmm interesting. I Mean should we talk about that? Trump's launched as many airstrikes in five months as Biden did in four years. Should we talk about that?

And that's an interesting one when you think about it, largely due to the fact that, uh, what Biden was asleep the Auto Pen was at full gear and he did basically nothing to prevent anything that was happening around the world he largely let the world fall into war and now we don't know how those wars are gonna finish folks we don't know how those wars are going to finish folks. We don't know how those wars are going to wind up. We don't know how deeply entrenched the United States will be in those wars. We know nothing.

We know nothing. Well, the real question is how many airstrikes would Donald Trump have launched if he won a second time? And what would the world look like today? Look, I don't feel like Just so everybody knows I don't feel like Donald Trump is this guy who's going to Like manipulate the entire economic structure in a way that's gonna make life beneficial for everyone. I Don't see it I don't see it man the coffee is good this morning disaster coffee calm folks. Does it? Disaster how the hell they do a coffee show and not have my own businesses coffee mug

I'll tell you what the redheaded stepchild of the prepper broadcasting network has to be disaster coffee calm It is weird Ukrainians praise agent Melania for turning trump against Putin What now like I said, there's a reason I gotta come here Because when you see a story like that that's that's tremendous What did agent Melania Ukrainians have praised undercover agent Melania for convincing husband to turn against Putin following his apparent change of heart on Russia following a series of

failed peace time of a key role the row has repeatedly embarrassed the White House by saying one thing and doing another I go home I tell the first lady I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation Trump told reporters in the Oval Office She said really another city was just hit. Yeah, did we thought we had a deal numerous times I get home. I'd say I had a most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished Well, that's strange because I just bombed the nursing home uh Agent Melania Trumpenko

where Come on, dude That's sweet Oh, Agent Melania Trumpenko. Where? Come on, dude. That's sweet. That is sweet. Now, you know, wives are powerful. You could laugh about it. You know, one of the most powerful things a wife can do for you as a man is tell you the truth.

You know, the uncomfortable truth. It's good. You know the uncomfortable truth it's good Lots of love for Melania Trump on Ukrainian social media tonight Hey, who knows? It is amazing though, right? It is amazing how one man can be Excoriated for so many different things at one time, you know what? I mean, we have a situation where a guy can be Attacked for being too close to Russia and now be attacked for being you know ready to go to war with her up now not necessarily ready to go to war, but

The Kremlin has returned Yeah, the Kermit the Kremlin has returned and has decided that they would like to talk about the 50-day deadline. Kremlin mocks Trump's 50-day deadline. Unfazed Putin may demand more Ukrainian territory over the sanctions threat. This is a lot of talk. We'll just have to see what happens when the rubber meets the road This thing I really do think well, I don't know

Yesterday I definitely felt like Putin's gonna swallow up as much as he can get and then call off the dogs. I Really do think he's in for a world of hurt when the resupply arrives, you know I if I were in Russia's shoes, I think everything I could muster To find out where those weapons are coming in and how they're gonna get delivered would be my number one goal If you really want to do embarrass the United States and NATO you blow those weapons up before they even arrive. I Don't know if they have that kind of capability. I really don't. I don't know if they have that kind of capability, Russia. I'm not sure. You know, you're talking about flying and attacks over top of NATO countries. Who knows? Putin also appears unfazed by Trump's threat of sanctions and decisions to arm Ukraine with

billions of dollars worth of long-range weapons. Trump on Monday vowed to slap brutal 100 percent tariffs on Russia. I talked about this already. It used to be 24 hours. It used to be 100 days. We've been through all of this and we really want to understand what motivates the president of the United States. Lavrov suggested Trump's move was simply driven by indecent pressure from the European Union. I don't know. I don't think that's right. Explaining the dictator's thinking, another said,

Putin thinks no one has seriously engaged with him on the details of peace in Ukraine, including the Americans, so will continue until he gets what he wants. That's not bad. Not a bad take. I think that Donald Trump's pretty pissed off with war in general, and he probably could be taken advantage of in a situation like this there's probably a good chance that he could be taken advantage of manipulated in a situation like this what up fire wolf I owe you

guys a I gotta get it one of your incredible blacksmith videos up for our members fire wolf Forge unit party wants me to prep even harder. Good morning. Good morning, Born to Braap. How are you, sir? Yeah, Uniparty, Unination, Una everything, right? Russia warrants of nuclear Armageddon after Trump's latest Ukraine move. Yesterday we did a whole show on prepping for nuclear war. Go to pbnfamily.com, get the book. World War III tension has spiked as Vladimir Putin is said to be giving detailed thought to using nukes in Ukraine.

Now that part I kind of struggle with. Why would you nuke your own territory if you wanted to be your territory? What is the point of the nukes? Help me out. Help me understand, unless you just create a, unless the buffer zone becomes a radiated zone, right? Like a no travel zone that is completely radiated over there

Do you really think that russia will use a nuclear weapon right that's the question Do you really think? That that a nuclear weapon will be used by russia I mean, I just think about that for a while. No fire wolf. We've got plenty of videos in the tank still That's not what I meant We got we got all kinds of videos. I think I got like three three more to do. I Have to get them up on the website. That's what I'm talking about. I Have a hard time believing it I think I would be in disbelief to see a tactical nuclear weapon used on the battlefield in Ukraine.

I think I would be. Although, when this thing kicked off many moons ago, I did have a very vivid dream that I was in with my family in like a department store. And I opened up my phone and the headlines on the phone were telling me that all the power was out in Ukraine and that the Russians had hit them with an EMP. This is. This is probably before we even wrote nuclear war prepared, not scared. This was Before that like at sort of at the head of the war, you know Few months later at another dream and it was of rushing waves It was sort of like I was on it like it was like drone footage dream

It was like I started the drone image of my dream started on the on the shores of the UK and then the footage like took off into the ocean and Giant waves were coming and out in the distance was a mushroom cloud like like a detonation had occurred offshore That was a that was pretty terrifying dream that one. But other than that I don't know. Donald Trump was today warned by Moscow that he is pushing Russia toward nuclear war with his new go-ahead to for arms to Ukraine. What do you think about that? Like what do you think about this war coming to and how does this war coming to an end push Russia towards a nuclear war?

Now, I do remember intervention, Putin mentioning that intervention would be a red line and we would see something no one has ever seen before. I don't know what that is. Fundamentally that turned out to be... what we wound up seeing that no one ever seen before with NATO intervention largely was the drone attack on the on the nuclear bombers in Russia. I don't think that's what Putin meant, but that's what stands out to me. What's up, Dragonball75 over there on Instagram? What's up, Mark Richards? To all of you out there, thanks for joining us.

And whatever platform you're on, make sure you follow. Make sure you share. Make sure you do all that cool stuff, thumbs upping and whatever. Goes a long way, OK, that's getting the message out And yeah, so this PBN family comm website you can go over there and get a free book on prepping for nuclear war It's right up front there. Just look a little bit look for the red bullseye. You'll find it 100% free we're talking nuclear war war if your insides are quivering.

Get that book, okay? 10 billion worth of defensive and offensive missiles and other arms to be paid to US allies in Europe along with Canada, as well as the threat of sledgehammer sanctions. Oh, I like that. I like Sledgehammer sanctions. Imagine our country under attack by American cruise missiles like Yugoslavia, Iraq, et cetera. I'm sure that YARS should go in response. The YARS, the YARS. YARS are Russia's mainland based strategic nuclear weapons.

Each missile typically carries three or four nuclear warheads Who said that that sounds like our buddy? Oh a slide cough Jesus slide cough The Russian names are like the Russian names always remind me of like noises in comic books you know what I mean like Batman gets thrown through a thrown through a wall sladkov right

it's one of those things so yeah look this is what we're doing folks I don't know it's just what I want to do this morning. I did a very Sort of organized long Informational show yesterday where I talked about a lot of important and pressing issues Hey, you know, it's good. It's fine. Um But what I want to do now Is have my second cup of coffee And in order to do that, we're going to run a quick ad for the incredible sponsor Lima Tango Survival let me tell you folks okay Lima Tango Survival we've really tested out the kit over the weekend we really splayed

everything out family gear our members gear review show family gear you guys are gonna get a look at this thing. I Don't know how they afford it I Think it might be a limited time offer, okay, I Love the folks over Lima tango survival. I can't figure out how they afford to put this bag together on and make any money. I mean when you see the the fixed blade Gerber when you see the fixed blade Gerber when you see the Compass when you see the food when you see the Coming Jesus the shelter like I don't know how they afford to put this gray man kit together and make any money Between you and me just between you all right

So let's do this ad real quick and Yeah, I'll be right back. Here's my question to you. Are you really going to build that kit? Look, it's 2025. It's time to get honest. Are you going to build out that get home kit, that bug out bag? the best value and the best quality frankly that I've ever seen in pre-made survival kits.

Lima Tango solves your preparedness problems. Visit limatangosurvival.com and find the kit that solves your problem. I'm gonna be honest with you, I haven't been super impressed with the

stream yard over the last few days. I don't know what the hell's going on. Ain't working well. Something's weird. Something's a little strange So let's get into it let's get back into it. What do we got going on here? Out in the world anybody else who's out there is Cleaved onto something interesting feel free to throw it into chat what we're doing today

Fundamentally is nursing my first cup of coffee second now and kind of going through what it is I go through during the morning hours as I get my day going you know some days I don't some days I don't look at the news what so like tomorrow tomorrow we'll do the members only podcast and I don't even nine times out of ten I'm not discussing news with the members they get enough of it you know what I mean a lot of times we're doing much much different stuff over there some audio only members podcasts oh I love it so much all these lights are turned off I'm sitting in here I'm

sitting in here like hunch drinking coffee not even have a shirt on, just living life for real. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. Inside the Silicon Valley push to breed super babies. This whole super baby thing is the cutest baby and has the prettiest eyes and the prettiest hair or the nicest physique or whatever it is, like, can't get cancer, I don't know, you know, whatever. Immune to all these things. Oh, would you want to be the first super kid? Especially this day and age.

Would you want to be the first super baby? Would you want to be part of the legion of super babies in a time where he wind up? Surrounded by people who are struggling to even buy a house like do you want to be known as that do you want to even? have that It's a really weird thing guys Life is a long and terrible thing and And it doesn't make much sense to me And it doesn't make much sense to me to create this sort of picture perfect thing. I think, at least from what I can tell, and based on the people that I've loved all over

the years, the real super people don't even come to be until they're forged by some sort of resistance, some sort of adversity. That's really what makes fun, cool, beautiful people. Just is what it is. It's actually running them through the pasta maker of life. Yeah, stretching them out and all that kind of stuff. You know, it's like run. Sure, it'd be nice to be lovely if people I mean, some people can some people can be born and endure very little and still be really cool.

But the truth of the matter is like. And some people can be born and endure very little and still be really cool. But the truth of the matter is, usually people who are really cool, it doesn't have to do with how they were born. It has to do with how they grew up. And it's not a formula that works for everybody. I get that, too. Some people live through great adversity.

And then they wind up addicted to drugs and overdosed and dead. Or they wind up, you know, killing themselves. Sucks. Definitely sucks. It's a terrible thing. I don't know. It seems so crazy. And also, like, what about what you could have made One of the scariest things to me is the idea that like I wake up It's 2001

You know what I mean, and I have to figure my way back through all the fuck ups And day-to-day stuff that I've done my whole life in order to get back here to this point because this is where I want to be you know and it's terrifying it's terrifying and one of the reasons I want to be here is because of the kids that my wife and I made you know what I mean I always wonder like maybe one of the worst things in the world would be to have had the capability to make a kid, but instead you engineered a kid. And then for the rest of your life, you're obviously tuned into this super baby that you use the technology to form into what you think you want as a

parent what you think you want the baby to be like right which whatever whatever knob is lots of sleep every parents go right like make sure the baby sleeps all the time that's gonna go all the way up and you know I don't know, there's just so many memories. So many struggles. And I mean, like, parenting was still struggling with shit now. And it's just the whole it's life. You know, why do we look to smear life with some cheap, like, store-bought peanut butter to cover up all the greatness of the wheat bread that is life, the whole wheat bread that is life? It just seems like we're at our whole goal anymore is to take crap, short-term pleasures to cover up what life it like

the realities of life which aren't always good and this is a losing game folks this is a suicidal game I'm telling you right now it's no good it's no good and it this creation of the super child, the super baby, is probably one of the worst iterations of it. You know, it's... I don't know, man. I don't know if I was built for this life grind. You know, the good, the bad, the ugly. Or what? I don't know. Or what oh, yeah, I don't know I could tell you though It all amounts to a life and that's it You know what? I mean it all amounts to a life and you look back on it and you say wow I'm sure glad I didn't fall into any of these

dumb paradigms That's all it's all there is to it, you know, it's all there is to it. You know? That's all there is to it. The end of the super babies. 7 in 10 anxious about money. That's not a new story.

That's always that way. Undocumented parents prepare for the unthinkable giving up their children. The West's mega drought might not let up for decades. Weather conspiracy theories move from online fringes to state laws. Look, are you 100% confident in weather modification technology? Like, when did you first hear about weather modification technology? And now all of a sudden there's all these people coming out going like, yeah, we've been doing that shit for years here in the state of blank. Oh, yeah, we've been doing that for years here in the state of blank.

Remember, I told you months ago about the people who were putting the balloons up in the sky to decrease the temperature on the planet. Remember, they were putting them up there, they were releasing something, I forget what it was. And this was, actually this was probably years ago. It started as an idea, but I instantly knew reading the article, I said there's no way that they're waiting. Oh, we're gonna wait for funding and then we gotta get approval and then yeah. The existential crisis of your lifetime is climate change that's what the professors brainwashed you to believe your parents brainwashed you believe right and

then all of a sudden you're gonna sit there and say what we're gonna do is we're gonna sit here and be patient and what watch the world die and We're just gonna take our time with this thing and get it, right? Of course not then Then people were sending... Dude, long time ago we used to air a show called the Ice Age Farmer and I loved it man. The Ice Age Farmer, Christian from the Ice Age Farmer and his whole concept was this solar minimum that people were worried about. Few, I mean he was really worried about it, right? He was worried about growing growing food. That was his fundamental thing. And growing food with with help for

colder times that could come. God, don't do it. Don't do it to me. I hate the cold. You know what I mean? If if if these morons in some stupid monkey attempt To prevent climate change from from ruining the earth If they wind up in 10 years 15 years like the average temperature here in Virginia is Like 10 degrees lower than normal 5 degrees lower than normal I'm gonna to be miserable.

We got so much snow last year. It was amazing. We got as much snow last year as a good year in Pennsylvania, it felt like. Like a good year when I was growing up as a kid in southeastern Pennsylvania, it felt like that here in Virginia. And it was great.

I mean, my kid loved it. My youngest loved it was great I mean my kid loved it you know like my youngest loved it for sure both my kids loved it but my youngest he really loved it and it was fun you know it was fun and a few years before I was doing the ugly human being thing right the ugly crybaby human thing which is please when are we gonna get snow we ever gonna get snow again you know and then you get a bunch of snow and the world's coming to an end You know how it goes It's the course of the life of mortal men in this world folks, that's what it is But yeah, I hope these people aren't I

Hope these people aren't blocking out the Sun a la the matrix, you know between the blocking out of the Sun and artificial intelligence. I just like waiting for that answer to come across grok like Give us all like how should humanity live? What's what's what's one thing humanity could do to live better grok the plants aren't growing as well anymore, you know pesticides and we screwed up the environment and Grocks like you should just start eating each other The most efficient way to feed the human population is with the human population Come on rock we read the book we saw the video we know we know the deal

So what else folks I'm about wrapped up I might read to you a little bit with the camera off, if you want. I might do a little reading today. It was customary back in the old days. The old days of the I Am Liberty Show was pretty customary. Let's read. You go to Amazon, you can get my new book, Poems for Men. I should probably show that. You want to Amazon you can get my new book poems for men. I Should probably show that you want to see you want to see what it looks like Let's see

If you see this thing Then get your hands on it. Okay poems for men. Just go search poems for men. Jay Ferg again chat says Soylent Green That's it Poems for men. Okay, let's see. I Know there's a lot of people out there who don't understand that they don't get it. They get on me They give me all kinds of problems Real men don't read poetry Well, who the hell who the hell was reading it then? Right who that was reading it back in the day poetry is ancient maybe I'll read you an ancient

one you want to read an ancient one it's in the fatherhood section the birth of a son the birth of a son by sue Tung Po sue Po. OK. My notes in here is a very short one. My notes in here say Su Tung Po was born in 1037 AD, 1037 AD, nearly a thousand years ago. If you think humanity has changed very much, this poem, man, if you think being a father, being a parent has changed that much over the years, this poem right here was so valuable. It rounds out the fatherhood section of my book, Poems for Men. And it starts, families when a child is born hope it will turn out intelligent. I, through intelligence, have wrecked my whole life.

Only hope that the baby will prove ignorant and stupid, then he'll be happy all his days and grow into a cabinet minister. Of course, this is a very cynical man, this Su Tung Po. And it's in some ways a funny and sort of hysterical and cynical look at life but I think there's some really wild not just like not just the fact that a Thousand years ago this resonates with Americans a thousand years forward but the fact that this was Chinese right so it's not even and how different was their culture back then but still

families when a child is born hope it will turn out intelligent I threw intelligence having wrecked my whole life only hope that the baby will prove ignorant and stupid then he'll be happy all his days and grow into a cabinet minister I don't know there's something about that man there's something about that you want to read some more of the greats I'd see there's poems in this book that I wrote and I'm very proud of all of them and there's also incredible reads in here, like the works of William Blake. And William Blake, I don't know. This is. This is a nightmare of a poem, and it's also a dark reality for many.

It's called The Little Boy Lost. Father, father, where are you going? Oh, do not walk so fast. Speak, father, speak to the little boy lost. Father father, where are you going? Oh, do not walk so fast speak father speak to your little boy or else I shall be lost The night was dark. No father was there. The child was wet with dew The mire was deep and the child did weep and away the vapor flew And that's it william William Blake what what one of the things I hope to never know you know a lot of emotions I'm not afraid to feel there are a lot of things in life that I'll take on headfirst but you know that

whole leaving the kids, wow. My parents would fight and one of the things that would always choke me up, I had this reoccurring vision in my head. It was just about me looking out my window and my dad driving away and waving and me knowing that he was never coming back, you know that him and mom had had that that fight That was the death of all The death of all things, you know Let's read Shakespeare and then we'll get out of here Yeah, let's read Shakespeare

And then we'll roll okay Because this is another one, you know Shakespeare pretty damned old, you know, we're talking 500 years But when you listen to this son of 29 by William Shakespeare realize it men fate men suffering the same things We've always suffered over Millennia, you know not that this is that old but This whole game has been the same game for a long time And the reason I published this book the reason I but this whole game has been the same game for a long time. And the reason I published this book, the reason I wrote this book was just for that,

just for that, because I know men feel like like hapless and hopeless and apathetic to everything. Let me get through this day's work so I can go watch my favorite streamer play a video game, eat a shitty meal, fall asleep and you know dream of a you somewhere in dreamland tonight if you know the reference But you know it is the battle I'm not saying read a poem and everything in the world will get better for you Not that easy, but I am telling you that you know, we've We've been at this a long time this this battle for you. for a variety of things that at the end of the day, I don't know, maybe don't matter as much. When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone be weep my outcast state, and trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries. This part I wrote in bold.

In this book you'll find certain passages in bold because they're things that I've read over and over and over again. this book you will find certain passages in bold, and look upon myself and curse my fate, wishing me like to one more rich in hope, featured like him, like him with friends possessed desiring this man's art and that man's scope, with what I most enjoy contented least." Dude, if you could follow along, just understand this is exactly social media. This is that thing that people are going like, I think it's because of the social media. I Think it's because of being human right and look upon myself and curse my fate Oh, what was me says Shakespeare right wishing me like to one more rich and hope

I wish I wasn't such a damn Debbie downer all the time. I wish I was happy, you know Give me my SSRI so I can be like the smiling guy. Featured like him, right? Now you're talking about looking at a person and saying, God, I wish I was handsome like that guy. I wish I was good looking like him. Probably gets all the ladies like him with the friends, like him with friends possessed, right? Oh, he's got such good friends, man I don't have many friends. I don't have any friends

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, right? So what does he have that I don't have? And man his his whole sort of ideologies alluring and I wish I had an ideology like that But here's the kicker. Here's what ties this all together It's kind of a no-duh up until now when you really think about it. But here's what ties the whole thing together. With what I most enjoy content at least. And that really is the stake in the heart. And that I see more than ever. I see that more than ever folks. I see people rushing and to and fro and saving and buying and spending and wasting and all in the face of this

idol of Looking good and looking like the this person and feeling like that person and talking like this person and being like that person and then What I always lament the most for people nowadays and I guess it's not just nowadays, right? Because this is 500 years ago We're talking about People who Take their true joy the thing that they really enjoy and push it all the way in the corner and push it all the way in the corner. Hide that thing, cover it up. Maybe I'll get back to it one day, but at the moment I'm busy trying to be like him, look like

him, speak like him, do like him, own the things that he owns so that I can be happy so that I could find some joy in life. Let's round it out. OK. Yet in these thoughts, myself almost despising, happily I think on the and then my state like to the lark at breaking day of day arising from sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings that then I scorn to change my state with kings

This is a little bit of a roundabout, you know what I mean? There's a little bit of a turnaround at the end of the poem but um Yeah that that little section right there that little five lines by William Shakespeare sonnet 29 if you want to look it up yourself William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 if you want to look it up yourself. It's so powerful because it reminds us that we've been on the same grind forever. We've been on the same grind for at least that long. At least that long. At least 500 years we've been going, I want what they have. I want to look like them. You know what I mean? Because why it's such a powerful reminder is nowadays we live in a society where we are trying to blame everything on technology we're trying to find the real thing what's really wrong

with everything you know what's the real problem let's get down to it I'm not saying social media is at all innocent but I'm just saying it's it's enhanced the game that we've been playing a very long time PB and family Thank you all for joining me today another nice long podcast Thanks for enduring my first cup of coffee and sort of the meandering of the mind in the morning.
