The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Surviving America 043: Epstein, Ozzy, Agua

Episode Date: July 24, 2025

www.pbnfamily.comwww.limatangosurvival.comThe legend has passed. The files are held. The water is life! 

Society in every state is a blessing. The government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil. The future has already arrived. Welcome in everyone, Surviving America. Oh, what a morning, what a day, what a, wow, what a couple days, few days. I'm coming off a real kind of quiet day. My wife's birthday was yesterday. Life and death, life and death. I had a nephew born yesterday. My wife's birthday was yesterday.

I wake up today. Ozzy Osbourne has passed away. God rest his soul. And uh, cool. Yeah. That's a lot of life and death in a really short period of time. Um, new life. Life in full bloom. Death. It gives a lot of pause. It gives a lot of pause, it gives a lot of thought to mortality in and of itself and the short dance in the sun that you get, that you have, the privilege to be alive this morning. Wake up every day and thank God for another day. I hope you do that.

I hear people say that all the time. Wake up every day and thank God for another day on this earth. Pretty good. Pretty goddamn good, PBN family. There's a lot to talk about today. Epstein autocorrect. I tried to type Epstein in.

I think I spelled it wrong, actually. I tried to type it in and it autocorrect into the word Easter. Which really is kind of funny considering what we're dealing with when it comes to Epstein, right? I don't really wanna talk about it. I put it at the head of the show because I wanted to say something about it at the head of the show now that I see that Congress is taking a recess.

What is all the weirdness? Release the files, be done with it, release everything. Release everything, be done with it, let it ripple through the government. Listen, the American people are, we're going through it, man. Now's the time to go through it all. You know what I mean? Now's the time to lay all the cards out on the table. Whatever it is, whatever it is is we have to deal with.

We have to fundamentally get through it. You know what I mean? Not to mention it's really like a, just a nightmare to wake up every day and see another headline about it, you know? Morning, Jay Ferg. I'm calling, I'm calling officially for the release of the Epstein files

here on Surviving America today. So expect some action. No, I just don't get it. I just don't understand the whole, what's the deal with Congress taking a recess now that Democrats want to vote on the release of the files and all the Epstein cash, if you will. And, and Johnson comes out, oh, well, we gotta take a break. Take a recess here, we gotta figure out.

Don't do that. Let's be transparent. Let's get this bullshit over with, right? There's no more dragging ass on the Epstein thing. Get it done, get it over with. Whoever's on the list is on the Epstein thing. Get it done. Get it over with. Whoever's on the list is on the list. Whatever information should...

Don't you think now is the time for upheaval in the United States? We have a sitting president fully prepared to throw a former president in jail in Barack Obama. It's time. Now is the time to release everything. It's chaos out there. And now is the time to do all the breaking, right, so that we might mend as a nation in the years to come. That's my take. Okay. That's all I wanted to talk about in terms of Epstein. So if you showed up for the Epstein at the head of the show, that's really all I wanted to talk about. Perhaps if I'm prompted by chat,

I might get into something later. Probably not though, unless it's really interesting. Because in all honesty, it's a bunch of rich dudes screwing around in one way or another. And me, I'm a jail kind of guy. You wanna make me smile, put people in prison. That's what I like to see. And I'm talking about on the rich and powerful and political level. Thrilled, thrilled. If I can see handcuffs and hands behind the backs of people, I'm absolutely thrilled to see it.

If they are corrupt politicians or corrupt monstrous rich people, I like to see punishment. Okay. You know why? Because it's a deterrent. Don't you understand? It's a deterrent. It's a deterrent to other more rich and more powerful people who want to

diddle kids and get a, we'll try to get away with right. So that's why you don't hear a lot out of me. You know, if we get a list of people and then I see a parade of people in what are they used to call the chain that they worked on like a chain gang of the rich and powerful and congressional. Then I'll talk about it. Then we'll talk, because until then, it's all bullshit to me anyway, right? Love it, I'd love it. I'd love to see numerous people pulled out of Congress, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,

and if Donald Trump was involved, throw his ass in jail too. Yeah, why? Because everybody would go, oh my God, I don't believe it. What the hell is going on in this world? Yeah, what the hell is going on in the world is justice. And that's what the average American needs more than anything. The average American needs to see justice more than anything.

Because we work all day, right? We break our ass to make it in this country. We fund multitudes of nations and wars all around the world feed the people protect the people send our doctors over there Right the whole thing never forget like doctors without borders fundamentally like the doctors that are in Gaza that are everywhere Africa When they go out and they get those big loans and they go to school for 12 years and then Joe Biden gives debt forgiveness, right, student loan forgiveness, all of a sudden that's our problem. That's our debt. You know what I mean? We send countless resources overseas. It's getting to a position in the United States where people are getting tired

of it, and at the very, very, very, very, very least, what you can give us is justice. That's what you can give us. You can give us some of these freaks on Capitol Hill with their arms behind their backs and handcuffs participating in this. You can give us the very worst of the worst with the most power and the most prestige. Photography behind bars and so on and so forth. I know. It's cynical out there. The cynical of you out there will say, oh, that'll never happen. They got too much money. They got lawyers. Diddy smacking the girlfriend around on videotape and he's gonna walk.

I get it. But I will caution you this. I will caution you this. This is not a system that lasts forever. The system of the rich and powerful not paying taxes and doing what the hell they want and building massive corporations and running the price of everything up on people. And then alluding justice on top of it, I know that's not all the same people, but it doesn't have to be all the same people. The moment you start to draw justice out of the picture and you see the lawless, rich, and powerful, untouchable, monarch-like

people. That's about the quickest route to vigilante, nocentury Russian-style justice, if you will. You know what I mean? In other words, you'll see a lot more Luigi Mangioni's popping up. If the rich and powerful allowed to walk every time there's a problem and Congress disbands to make sure nobody gets in trouble. Yeah, you're going to see people die. You're going to see people die. You're going to see rich and powerful people assassinated more and more because a lot of people in society are going to say they're not going to go to jail.

The moment you convince people that there's somebody out there in the world who has more money than them, a better car, a better house, a better wife, and they're untouchable and they can do whatever they want and be violent with whoever they want and rape whoever they want. The moment you convince the right type of person of that or the wrong type of person of that or enough people of that, it goes off the rails. That's how it goes off the rails. So all this shielding and all this covert and all this lawyers and everything that gets these rich guys off, you're seeding

the clouds of a future hurricane of violence. And that's exactly what you're doing. You know, so that's about my take on it. That's about my take on it. You know, when you have a nation full of people and full of firearms and ammunition, you must have justice. There's no getting around it. You must have justice. If you cannot have justice, if the people are not convinced that there is such a thing as justice and they're all armed, there will be justice. That's all there is to it. It might sound crazy, it might sound wild and wacky, but I'm telling you right now, it will happen if it's allowed to, if the devil is allowed to exist amongst us,

you know what I mean? And burn holes in the floor everywhere he walks. And we're supposed to sit here and go, oh, I don't see anything. No, it won't happen, okay? Suffer not the unclean to live. If you wanna look it up, you'll laugh. Suffer not the unclean to live. If you wanna look it up, you'll laugh. Suffer not the unclean to live.

But anyway, I'm having fun this morning, okay? I did a full breakdown on Ozzy Osbourne's death. If you wanna listen to it. I was gonna put it in this show, but then I said, knowing me, I'll go on a 50 minute explanation of it all. So what I thought would be really good is if I told you the story of my adventure to Ozfest 1998, when I was 12 years old with my cousin Dan,

and all sort of the ins and outs of that crazy day in Camden, New Jersey, that culminated in watching Ozzy Osbourne live. I mean, really the way that you wanna see him live, really fantastic. And there's a lot in there. The show opens up with my high school band, a little clip of music,

about 30 seconds from my high school band, and goes on to tell the whole story of what OzFest was all about and how much Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne really not directly affected my life, but their influence most certainly created the music that was my life when I was young. You know what I mean? Still young. But when I was in high school, middle school,

even coming out of elementary school, really, I was into metal like it was. I wasn't into metal. Metal was into me. It was my life. You know what I mean? Once we started bands and all that kind of stuff, started going to concerts, it was life.

That's what it was, you know, it was life. And none of it, none of it, none of the bands that I listened to would have ever come to fruition without Ozzy, that's the reality of it. So yeah, if you wanna go deep on that end of things, go check out that podcast, it's in audio only, you gotta get it at X, you gotta get it at Spotify, you gotta get it at iTunes. You got to get it at Spotify. You got to get it at iTunes.

You can get it on our social media. Um, you can get the audio here at YouTube if you're watching it, YouTube. Um, but it's yeah, it's fun, man. It's fun. You'll hear about my my 18 year old crush when I was about 12 years old. Uh, yeah, it was fun. It was a fun time to be alive. Some shocking things for sure

for a 12 year old to be involved in, but it was a great time. It really was. Jay Fergie says, my first concert was the Blues Travelers. Oh man, the Blues Travelers were good. OsFest was not my first concert, but it was one of the best for sure.

And it was an early on one. It was a wild time, it was great it was great and I thank that crazy Brit for for doing his thing man doing his thing and bringing bringing metal to life for me. He was a game changer no doubt about it it was a game changer. Seven or eight at the concert. Jay Ferg, wow. Wow. Yeah, that's early. That's getting them started early. Concerts were fun, man. We had a blast. You couldn't even believe it. Like you couldn't believe in the early 2000s, I'm talking like the doorstep of 2000, like the early days of 2000, right? We would, we didn't even have cars yet. Nobody's driving, right?

We would take trains into Philadelphia. Imagine taking a train into Philadelphia at 14 maybe. Train into Philly. where did we get off? Where did the train get us off at? We took the R2 in to the Galleria, that was it. R2 into the Galleria, which was like an underground mall. You could go, it was at the main street also. But you take the train into the Galleria,

the R2 from Marcus Sook, right, my little town. And we'd get to the Galleria, we'd usually eat. Sun's going down, it's concert time, you know what I mean? Me and four, five, six of my friends, whatever, we'd usually meet people up there. And then we'd roll into the electric factory. Usually it was the electric factory or the Trocadero. And we'd go watch

bands man all night all night long we'd go watch bands we'd get out like one o'clock whatever it was we usually had to get picked up I don't even think the train ran when the shows were over we'd get picked up most of the time if I remember and where we'd get rides with people, something like that. It was crazy, radical adventure, you know what I mean? Through the city, I can't even imagine my kids going into, hopping a train, going into, no cell phone, by the way. There's no check-in, you know what I mean? Mom, we made it, you know what I mean?

It's like, yeah, none of that, crazy. But it was a good time, it was a great time. You build a lot of confidence in yourself. You learn a lot. You learn how to avoid problems and trouble. There's a lot of that urban survival stuff I learned. Urban survival, like you say it and people think, the first thing that comes to mind is like the world's collapsed and you're stuck in an urban survival situation. What's up Firewolf? But urban survival for me was very different growing up. It was literally surviving in an urban environment. You're running around Philadelphia at 14 years old with a group of guys and girls your age. It's a different kind of survival, that's all.

Certain parts of town you don't go in, certain place you don't go to, you see certain groups of people, you don't go down certain, you know what I mean? Largely we spent a lot of time in Chinatown, though. That was always a good safe area, right there by the Galleria too. And we had a ball, you know, it's what it is.

It was a good time. It was a good time. It was a good time had by all. I want to show you guys something. I want to show you a prep today, a valuable one for Inside the Cash. I do have an SHTF chef for you. Maybe he will come tomorrow. It's a good one. It's a good one. It was delicious too, man. All right. But we're going to do Inside the Cash. I want to show you a water prep. Everybody needs. Everybody needs. All right. What we're gonna do inside the cache, I want to show you a water prep. Everybody needs. Everybody needs. All right. So it's not a water filter. It's not a fancy water straw, life straw, something along those lines. It's something that I don't know how

many of you have them. I don't know if you use them. I don't know if you store them. I started storing them a couple of years ago. Really, for the tap water, fundamentally, for should we dig a well? Should we dig an emergency well? Should we depend on the water in our creek? Should we depend on the rainwater? The moment that you decide that a different kind of water, a different source of water is going to become your water

source, you can learn a lot from a freshwater analysis kit like this one. These things are super simple. You dip it in the water for two seconds. Literally, it says it on the back. Dip a strip for two seconds and remove. You know? 16-parameter strips. I think the bacteria test takes longer, I'm pretty sure. Hardness, lead, fluoride, sodium chloride, total chlorine, alkaline, pH, hydrogen sulfide,

manganese, sulfite, coliform bacteria, nit chlorine, alkaline, pH, hydrogen sulfide, manganese, sulfite, coliform bacteria, nitrate, nitrite, copper, iron, mercury, zinc, hardness. I said hardness already. You got bacterial test strips in here as well. Like I said, I think it's 48 hours for the bacterial test strip. And it's straightforward. You get a green, you got harmful bacteria present in your water, right? You get yellow, you're in good shape. Outside of this though,

like you're filtering and boiling water, are you gonna filter and boil water for everything you use it for? How long before you stop filtering and boiling water? And wouldn't it be nice to be able to have a hundred strips to figure out and a couple bacteria tests to figure out what's going on in your water? Is the water changing? You could probably learn just as much from like the changes in the water. Hey, what's going on? You know what I mean? I think it's a good move. These things run like 20 bucks, Jayford, probably less. I mean? I think it's a good move These things run like 20 bucks jayford probably less

Uh, I think when I got them they're around like 17 bucks, you know I bought mine from amazon Yeah, you can get them from amazon. I'm sure i'll clip this and put a link on social media Hey, that's a good idea firewolf for4 says he can test the water and convince the wife to get a Berkey. Yeah the Berkeys are good. The Aqua, which one do I have? I don't have the Berkey, I have the other kind. But I need to change the filters. I think I need to change the filters. Matter of fact, I should probably filter some water through it, and run a test strip in there and see what the hell's going on. Water, water, water, folks.

Water is the panic. It's the panic button. Water for the Western world, there's nothing we take for granted more. That's it. There's not a damn thing, except maybe our wives, that we take for granted more than water. I'm serious.

Honestly, there's nothing that we take for granted more than water. Because the water always runs, it's one of those things where you're like, who cares? Who cares? It's not a big deal. So I really, through this year, like we started the year off with a water crisis. We had tap water. We were lucky enough. I mean, a drizzle of tap water, right? A lot of parts of the city were out of water for weeks, weeks. And that was an eye-opener, right? We ran into the same situation like two months later. We were never really affected. We're pretty low lying. Like I said, we've got a creek out back. We're pretty low lying. I

think that had a lot to do with it, the water in the pipes. Of course, it wasn't safe to drink, but just simply having access to it and having the means to filter that kind of stuff changes the game. But the idea that for us in the Western world, we hit a button, we turn a switch, we lift the handle, clean water comes out as much of it as we want to pay for, right? When you find yourself in a situation where it's not there anymore, you know, this is why hiking and even just basic hiking, just basic camping really helps you understand the value of something like water, clean water. When it goes off, it's immediately an issue.

And if you're not prepared at all, you're screwed. And for the longest time, I've told people, gallon jugs of water in the house, water bottles in the house. You know what I mean? I know plastic water bottles are the end of the world. You're gonna kill everyone. That's it.

Who's Billy bad? Truly, like honestly, you, water bottles, gallon water jugs and so on. You gotta have it, you know what I mean? You gotta have it. Water bricks, not bad. Expensive way to go at it. You're storing tap water.

There's a whole nother sort of situation to deal with that, but it is what it is. So for us, convenience in terms of emergency water is a very big deal. Dealing with those water crises at the beginning of the year was a good way to test that. What are you going to really do? What are you going to really do? And if you're mitigating like a short to long term water crisis in your own home, those things are going to make all the difference. You know what I mean? Convenience is going to make all the difference. It's fun and it's good to get the preps out and to test them out and filter and boil and aqua-tab the whole nine yards, right? That's a good

thing. But at the end of the day, it's like when you really get down to having to do life, and that's what, you know, hopefully that's what your emergency preparedness is about, right? Having to do life, you need that convenience. It's a big deal. So consider it. Consider it. I'd say this time last year, I probably thinking like, way down on the priority list

for water, right? Got certain things handled and so on, but not that much of a priority. Between the hike, between the big nightmarish hike, the summer workouts, the water situation here in Virginia lately in central Virginia. And then all those lingering thoughts in the back of your head, right? Hacking, you know, Iranian hackers, Chinese hackers, Russian hackers. If you guys remember not too long ago, like, I don't know, you know, it's, what was it, three years ago, something like that now?

If you remember in Florida about three years ago, they hacked the water system and they were going to put a bunch of lye essentially into the water, like more than that's supposed to go in there. They were going to put a bunch of it into the water system. The hacker was. Thank God the person on duty was paying attention and they caught it. They caught what was going on. They shut the situation down. But I'll never forget that story because that was a wild story about just how quick, how

quickly water can not only become undrinkable, but how quickly your water system can start killing people, right? That's that's an important one man Do you want me to tell you why preppers won't make what won't what? Sorry, your comment is in the way. Yeah, tell us Billy. Tell us Billy and then tell your friends about PBN. Okay, you're gonna pop in Spread the word dude, but go ahead preach on, I appreciate it. But how quickly water can become a situation like that, a real problem. Maybe before the news even gets to you

and tells you there's a problem, right? So a lot of people, they don't even drink the tap water. But what I would tell you is, take that emergency water plan seriously. Probably more important than anything is your backup water sources, the big ones. Where's the bulk of the water coming from? You know what I mean? Where's the bulk of the water coming from? Because you use a hell of a lot Because you use a hell of a lot, you know?

You use a hell of a lot. And before you know it, you're going to be in a situation where you're thinking, Billy Bad, tell me. Billy, Billy Bad. Tell me why preppers won't make it that long either. I could go for a sweeping generalization about me and my friends. I know a few preppers, okay? I'd love to hear it, right? make it that long either. I could go for a sweeping generalization about me and my friends. I know a few preppers, okay? I'd love to hear it, right? I'd love to hear it. But anyhow,

so whatever. Yeah, that's it. That's my diatribe on it. Some will be moved and some won't, likely until you're pressed on it. You know, the other thing is the flooding the flooding has been very The flooding has been you know, one of those things right Preppers will be first to go to the afterlife because of the millions who will unalive them for their supply I'll tell you what Billy bad. You got some some pretty cool who will unalive them for their supply. I'll tell you what, Billy Bad, you got some pretty cool emoji skills. Yeah, we've talked about that, Bill. I mean, we can talk about that if we want.

If you want me to take your deranged fantasy about killing preppers off and stuff like that, we can go into that. Trust me, we've thought about it a lot more than you have, Billy. I can promise you that much. We've thought about the concept of the immortal and untouchable roving band of marauders come to kill all the preppers. We've thought about that a lot here at PVM. And you know, whenever I run into a person who speaks that language, right, that language of, I'm going to come take your stuff concept. And that's sort of like the, that's the mentality, right? The mentality is I'm just going to go take other people's stuff.

It doesn't even have to be preppers, you know? Doesn't have to be preppers. Truth of the matter is there's a lot more people out there prepping than you can ever imagine who don't show up on a YouTube stream at 9, 14 in the morning. But of course, Billy, there's fundamental issues with that whole mindset and that whole mentality. And the biggest one is, you know, bullets go both ways, Billy. Bullets go both ways.

So you know, it's not Fallout 4 where you roll in and you take shots and, oh, my armor's gone down. Oh, shit, no big deal. I'll eat an apple. And my health is back. You know what I mean? Really fundamentally, if you're talking about people, a person, a group that is going to go door to door and try to kill people for their resources who are protecting their

families, I would probably consult American soldiers. I'd probably consult US soldiers and ask them how kicking doors goes. And remember, they're trained, right? They know what they're doing. They're well trained on how to get into a house, get the bad guy. Ask them how that goes. Ask them about attrition. Ask them about acceptable casualties. Ask them about, you know, what happens when you open a door and a hail of gunfire comes, right? I'm telling you right now, the biggest problem that people who think they're going to go door to door and take supplies is that they're going to go to a house with five guys and they're likely going to leave that house with four guys or five and four and a half guys, something along those lines, right? And then you're going

to go to the next house and the next house and then it's America, Billy bad. People got guns, dude. They're not gonna sit there and go, Oh my God, you caught me completely off guard in this collapse. I didn't even grab my 12 gauge shotgun and pointed at the door. So, you know, it is what it is. It's there's a lot more to it than that too, right? You've got this roving gang of people you think everybody in the group is going to get along. You think everybody in the group's gonna get along. You think they're all gonna get hungry and get along and behave and everything's gonna be fine and nobody's gonna jock for number one position

and shoot somebody in the face and you know. But it's cool. You know, it makes sense. It makes sense in the short term. But for your sake, my man, don't go that route, okay? Do not go the route of entering another American citizen's home in hopes of stealing the baked beans, all right?

Because you just never know what you're walking into. And the odds are not in your favor. You know what I mean? The odds are definitely not in your favor. You know what I mean? The odds are definitely not in your favor. So all that said, no better reason to prep. No better reason than to be fully prepared to bug in. I think the bug out is a very rare instance, something very rare, right?

out is a very rare instance, something very rare, right? Firewolf Forge in chat says... what's it say here? Oh yeah, everybody will suffer in a big collapse, Billy. There's no doubt about it, man. Firewolf Forge says it'll be real bad in the big cities. Yeah, probably. For a while, I lied to myself about what a citywide million people collapse would look like. Lots of suicide, lots of murder. But I think probably one of the most terrifying things once people realize the food's gone and the food's not coming is cannibalism.

Seems inevitable to me now. I used to beat around the bush, I think, because I had young tasty kids, you know, like little boys. And I was like, Oh, God, no, that could never happen. You know, you get into that mind frame where it's denial fundamentally. But now I think about it. And I think, you know, if things were ever to get so bad that cities were literally cramped and filled with people who had no access to food and water, maybe bridges were broken down and, you know, that whole thing, like, yeah,

why wouldn't people go that route? You know what I mean? Could be rough. It could, like just like Firewall Forge and Chad said, we could see things that are unimaginable. Now, all that being said, that's a great big leap to a world that doesn't exist. Right?

That's a great big leap into a world that doesn't exist. But what's important is to prepare for the world that does exist. Because what we're living through now, and probably what has guys like Billy bad, office volume and all that kind of stuff, is you're being peppered with headlines that drive you absolutely insane, particularly if you're unprepared, right? From the outside looking in, you can see preppers, you can see people who, oh, they're preparing for the zombie apocalypse, right?

For the longest time, we've been the prepper broadcasting network. We've been at it for over a decade. And the tagline of self-reliance and independence has always been the core of what we believe and what we do. I didn't know we were preparing for a time where the daily news would read like,

the daily news would read like shtfplan.com. But that's what you're reading now, right? That's exactly what you're reading now, right? That's exactly what you're reading now. You wake up every day whether you know it or not, right? All of your feeds, your social media feeds, your news feeds, whatever it is, it's all doom 24-7. AI is coming to kill you.

The economy is collapsing, pedophiles are ruling. Go to futuredanger.com. That's the kind of a website that you, that's the kind of a website that without your choice, you're just gobbling that shit down day in and day out, right? And if you're gobbling that kind of stuff down day in and day out, then you have to understand there's repercussions to that. You have to understand that you can't wake up every day and look at a cancer growing and say, oh, everything's fine. Everything's going to be great. Why am I striving and struggling? What am I doing all the striving and struggling for, right? The truth of the matter is everyone should be prepping. Everyone should be making their strides to become

more self-reliant and independent. Like I said, the sheer amount of media that you get smacked with every day, and listen, if you don't get hit with it every day, it's because you're not here on the internet. So I don't need to talk to you. But for the vast majority of people, man, you know too much about too many people. You know too much about too many things. You know too much about too many threats.

You know too much about things that'll never affect you in a million years, and you can't take it and You really can't take it if you're completely unprepared You know what I mean? If you're completely unprepared you got no extra food. No extra water No game plan for anything whatsoever things go bad except FEMA then I Don't even know how you would sit back and really enjoy life unless you're completely disconnected from all this shit, you know, straight up and down.

That's your warning. I don't know. But it's going to take you getting off your ass and doing stuff. You know, that's what it takes. It takes you getting off your ass and doing things. Testing things, trying things, Testing things, trying things, building things, growing things, raising things. Yeah. But here's the hope, right? Here's the hope, because we got nothing if we don't got hope. Is that on the other side, on the other side of like mass consumption of media and headlines and so

on, right? On the other side of that, when you're unprepared and freaking out and worried and you know, all that kind of stuff. On the other side of that man is a life, a magic life. It's the kind of life you can ask Phoenix in chat that if it's taken away from you, all you want is to get that life back. That life of self-reliance and independence, that life of chickens and eggs and gardens and backup power and comms, off-grid comms

and networks of people and wide open spaces, man. Hunting and fishing and foraging. Like there's a big wide world out there that has nothing to do with the headlines and the terror that is not life but is a great way to get people to look, to look at the screen. What else? Tell me what next? What should I be afraid of next? Right? So, to bring it all around and to end this whole thing, the funniest thing for me,

and probably everybody who's my friend and lives in this prepping space and has done so for a while, is that years ago, preppers were paranoid and scared people who did crazy things and went to crazy lengths to be prepared. Right? Paranoid, lunatics. This is how preppers were portrayed when I first started getting into this thing. But I'm a fringe guy, I like fringe stuff, you know? Now I look around and the mass of society has become a paranoid, scared, and terrified group of people filled with high anxiety and mental illness at every turn, right? They have no direction. They can't figure out how to do life,

where to do life, with whom to do life, when to do life. They want to work and they don't want to work. They want to stay home and they don't want to stay home. And on top of all of that, they've been goaded into staring unendingly at screens that tell them the world's coming to an end and they're completely unprepared for it. All the while, the preppers, the homesteaders, the self-reliant off-grid types have built over the last 10 years in the face of all this stuff, have built a lifestyle that is like, well, it's

really nothing fancy. It's just kind of being human again, right? It's kind of filtering back to the human again. And you know what we should be doing guys, what we should be doing is what the New York Times wanted me to do, right? When I was interviewed by the New York Times in 2020, all they wanted me to do was take a stab at everybody who's unprepared. Every interview that I did, Business Insider, they were always saying, do you want to say something to the people who are unprepared?

Do you want to give them a message on why they should be prepared or tell them that they should have been prepared for something like this since you've been around all these years? And that speaks to the, I don't know if it's all Preppers, but it does speak to you, the Prepper Broadcasting Network audience, because you guys are like me, or maybe I'm like you. What we should be doing as Preppers is belly laughing, because we've been warning people forever, right? But here's what we are doing. Here's what we are doing. What me and all my friends are doing is hopping up on these microphones and on these phones, dealing with idiots in chat and trying to spread the word and say, look, there is a way beyond the manufactured world that's

been created for you on your phone there is a world beyond the worry and the high anxiety lifestyle and the bottles of pills and it's likely a world that you know someone two generations from you is already living three generations at max and we hope to get you there, you know, no matter who you are, no matter who you are, no matter what your background, we hope to get you there. We hope you get you to the point where you've got a few chickens clucking around in the backyard, you know, proficiency with the firearm, yada, yada, yada, all those things. All those things that make you uniquely American and give you the ability to live a good life.
