Starting point is 00:00:00 in every state is a blessing the government even in its best state is but a necessary evil the future has already arrived humph day folks time for surviving america how's everybody doing I've taken, I mean, basically like a weak hiatus from ingesting, like, mouthfuls of news. Pretty long time for me. Pretty long time. Oh, before we get rolling. It's spooky month.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Happy October, everybody. October is upon us. You better enjoy it. You better enjoy the leaves falling in the fall festivities. um you only get so many so spooky season upon us these are the things that i should be concerned with but really truly i'm sitting here i've got a this was waiting for me when i got home a fresh epic times we'll go deep into that on friday when we read the newspaper and riff uh what's up dad over there in youtube land youtube's giving us even more trouble now they uh they blocked a bunch of
Starting point is 00:01:27 We've done prepper tips all morning j firk we've done prepper tips all through the month and just all the sudden We've gotten like the last four blocked I have no clue I haven't even listened to him to be honest I don't know what they say it's a copyright thing so I don't know if it's the intro to the prepper tip of the day but we've done preper tips of the day All the time we do you know we do almost done it for the last 45 days because I started them And then Dave was like, I'll take over and do the full month. The last four or five blocked. Blocked due to copyright infringement. This is why I hate this place known as you.
Starting point is 00:02:09 I get on here for my dad. That's it. The rest of the world be damned. Anyhow. But you folks at Rumble and X, man, you make the world go around. Of course, the listening audience, the speaker audience, the podcast audience, the real. the true sort of uh following of the prepper broadcasting network we love you thanks for everything i don't know what's going on in the world and i don't even mean it in a funny way i mean like
Starting point is 00:02:37 i have no clue really what's happening i don't know what my my usual suspects where i go and get news are talking about i don't know the big stories i don't know the the shell game stories i don't know the shadows on the wall i've basically lost all contact with it for the last few days. So I thought I'd literally get on here and talk about, you know, what's actually going on. What's actually going on? So we're going to go to a few different websites and I'll give you sort of my real deal first impression of what it is that's happening in the world. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Could be good. Might not be good. First, before we get started, I want to talk about Lima Tango Survival. Our incredible sponsor, the one and only Lima Tango. We busted that bag right there, that bag. We just were running an ad video ad for Limitango Survival. But we busted that bag down and gave it out to the winners of the tinfoil hat contest. Look at the commander with the beard.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Should we bring the beard back? What do you think? Everybody told me that like, it looks so young without the beard. Limitangosurvival.com, folks, home to the best gear for the best price, period, end of the story. Home to the very best gear for the best price, end of story. I use Lima Tango survival gear when I don't even, like, think about using Lima Tango survival gear. I've got my medical cash built at home, okay?
Starting point is 00:04:09 Some things are missing. Some things I got to replace all that kind of stuff. You know, it's the nature of prepping. Lima Tango organizes their over-the-counter medicines and their IFAX and first aid kits so well and so easily. a vacuum-sealed pack that I found myself going into the backpack for the thing that someone needs. A lady at PreparCamp, I don't remember what happened.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I think the lid was wrong on one of our carafts that had the coffee in it. Anyhow, long story short, you burn herself a coffee. I was right into Lima Tango, IFAC, boom, burn cream out. ease of access is a thing right ease of access is a thing are you going to do a thing or not do a thing sometimes it all comes down to how easy it is to get at so what's going on let's go to the compromised drudge report real quick of course everybody's braying about shutdown the government is shut down i say we call their bluff for a long long time i say we call the bluff of the government for some time and see what happens.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I like the drudge report now. I didn't used to like the drudge report. I thought the drudge report was compromised, which it is. But now that I've sort of morphed and started to understand that the drug report is what it is, now it can become sort of a really good bit of intel gathering and understanding for the other side. You can really start to see where their brains are at if they have brains. And real quickly, I mean, I could just, we'll just, I haven't seen it in days just so you know, but real quickly.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Main headline is shut, right? I know if I click this story, it's from AP News, government shutdown Congress, Trump Health Care, right? Part of high-rise apartment building in New York City collapses. Oh, that's not good. I remember a high-rise event in New York City that we thought was something like a collapse or an accident. Trump declares war on American cities. That's top left second heading, right? Here's Erica Kirk.
Starting point is 00:06:29 This is what they have to say about Erica Kirk. Erica Kirk, ready for this? See, when you know that the news outlet is compromised, you can go in there and kind of have fun with it, right? Erica Kirk, new Messiah of Maga Christianity. Wow, we, that's a heavy one. That's a heavy one. Pfizer spared tariffs after offering discounts for Trump RX site. Meet the 18-year-old Trump-Sion selling sweatshirts from White House lawn.
Starting point is 00:07:00 So you can see what it is, right? L.A. follows in Vegas. Well, we have to be careful of, though, like, we have to be careful about, No, this is the Wall Street Journal. Can I tell you something about the Wall Street Journal? Kai Trump's clothing line is the latest example of Trump family member using the White House to bolster their commercial pursuits. Yeah. We got to be careful about these kinds of things.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I don't know. It's what it is. It's wild. Right? It's just a wild world and a wild time. I'm kind of done with the drudge report already. What do you say? Move on. I did see something interesting on my Crapola MSN news feed. Let's go through the MSN news feed. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:07:54 And see what, sorry, totally unrelated. And see what the regular news is spitting out to me, right? Caitlin Clark responds with no words to Nafisa Collier's fiery state. The WMBA's got drama. It's fun. It's fun. Let them be. Let them have fun. What are you going to make a girl is going to make people upset? What are you going to make a girl sports league and pretend that there's not going to be fighting in it? Back and forth and yada, yada, yada, right? The catty stuff that is not even when women are in competition with each other, just when they're around each other, right? In large part, not all women, but it's pretty common. not take full advantage of that you're in a competitive sport like take i don't know uh you never know what's going to show up and what's not right trump post second racist video as government shuts down we have to watch i have to watch i just have to watch that i've got to see what racist videos UFO philia new trailer I saw something that was interesting but they don't ever
Starting point is 00:09:10 anti defamation league retires glossary of extremist groups after backlash for including charlie kirk's turning point USA is bomb threat at turning point USA by the way a bomb threat what are you blowing up what what are you doing why are we still the guy's dead already what are we doing unbelievable unbelievable but believable what i want to see i flew past something i wanted to see it oh i want to see how racist the racist video is let's see trump being racist he's cleaned up to uh or in the process of cleaning up to majority black neighborhoods problems and so forth in places like Washington, D.C. and Chicago. What's he doing that for?
Starting point is 00:10:01 Why? Yeah. Same old game, right? Same old game. Same old MSN. Oh, imagine that. So when you click to see the racist, the Trump Post Second Racist video, as government shuts down, it breaks. Rather than using his platform to address the tens of thousands,
Starting point is 00:10:24 and federal employees that are now going without pay due to the government shutdown. Is that true? Donald Trump is spending his time posting disgusting racist videos to his social media as DC plunges into chaos on his watch. Trump posted a second racist video attack on House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries to his true social account. Right, where's the video? What did he do? The video features Jeffries on MSNBC addressing Trump's first racist attack on him.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Trump, you think Hakeem Jeffreys had a lot of. legitimate. Trump then yet again shows Jeffries as a racist Mexican caricature, this time with Trump himself playing mariachi music as Jeffrey speaks. A pro-Trump account also posted the same character featuring a Democratic rep Maxine Water. Oh, who cares about Maxine Waters, dude? I'm supposed to concern myself with Maxine Waters race. That woman has caused so much chaos in this country. it's unbelievable on Twitter around the same time, showing that MAG only attacks black members of Congress in this way. So the whole of MAG is racist, including you, just so you know.
Starting point is 00:11:34 That's the decree. That is the decree, my friends. I bet you didn't know that about yourself. I bet you thought all this time you got along pretty well with people of different races. Nah, uh, nope, not according to MSN. this game's so old it's so old and so boring right the whole the whole racism thing is so like oh man this is a wild one this is a wild one we jumped over to some real news the economic collapse blog dot com he's had an easy uh an easy go this year i'll tell you that much
Starting point is 00:12:22 under the age of 30 have a full-time job. He goes on to say, I'm so glad I'm not a young adult looking for a job in this very difficult environment. Oil giant ExxonMobil is preparing to cut thousands of jobs worldwide in corporate reshuffling. A spokesperson for Exxon confirmed to Barron's
Starting point is 00:12:44 on Tuesday that the company plans to cut 2,000 jobs representing 3% to 4% of the energy company's global workforce. I'll tell you what, rather than have a government instituted income when AI takes everything, it definitely seems like the place to pull the money from would be the stock market, right? Oh, no, can't do that. No, but really, think about it. These companies are going to continue to make more money.
Starting point is 00:13:18 They're going to, and I know this is like borderline social. Now it's getting crazy you got on this well let's get right down to it. All right. Let's get right down to the core issue with the socialism, capitalism, communism, and the whole nine yards. Let's get right down to it. Okay. If the playing field makes sense, if the playing field is even and you're out there making a living and a company you work for is out there doing their thing and so on and so forth. and dignity and morality are involved and they're making big bucks and you're living a decent life, then look, I feel really good about capitalism, right? As soon as the playing field gets so crazy, what's up, Firewolf? Give me your thoughts on this one. As soon as the playing field gets so crazy that it doesn't look like capitalism anymore, Right? Or there is no unity, no allegiance, no morality.
Starting point is 00:14:29 And every major corporation in the world fires most of the human beings to replace them with artificial intelligence. Are we really supposed to die on the burning ship of what once was capitalism? Can you tell me with a straight face that if what everyone's saying about AI is true, that over the next five years most people are going to lose their job to an artificial intelligence something or other can you tell me with a straight face that what we are watching then is capitalism because look even if somebody who's way smarter than me can say well it still is basically capitalism well then we need a new name for it right we need a new name for it we need it to be called capitalism with the artificial intelligence slave uh making up the majority of employment and you have to understand that one of the reasons capitalism gets such a pat on the back in our society is because it employs people and allows them to move up in the world the moment capitalism takes on artificial intelligence and embraces it fully and you get fired what what we're dealing with is it capitalism if there
Starting point is 00:15:48 ain't no people working. Firewall Forge says it's capitalism all the way up until it's not. So my question is then, here's my question. We know a few things. We know a few things. People are going to lose their jobs. People are losing their jobs, right? When you go on to a website and you see that artificial intelligence message,
Starting point is 00:16:18 thing pop up in the right and say I'm not really a person but maybe I can help you that was somebody's job right may not have been an American's job but that was somebody's job you know that it's happening more and more and more and more and when you see giant corporations like Exxon Mobil saying we're gonna let 2,000 people go do you think they're the guys holding the drills you think they're the guys monitoring the oil wells you know where those jobs are going right says i'm glad this wasn't a moral question i'm more of a profiteer well that's but that's the question firewolf right that's the question because if i sit here and say if i sit here and propose what i'm
Starting point is 00:17:01 about to propose which is if you kill all the people off in your business yet your business profits are still going through the roof but nobody has a job the best source to take the money is from these guys that are making from the profiteers right why run up the nation's debt why run up the national debt money's got to come from somewhere right the money has to come from somewhere right now the money comes from me and you that's where it comes from right middle class middle class pays out the nose and suffers for it it's true the rich pay a lot in taxes i i i understand but there's also a lot of rich people who pay jack nothing in taxes right i always hear that all the time the rich pay all the taxes largest percentage of taxes there's also a lot of rich to pay zero
Starting point is 00:17:59 taxes and i know it's the fault of the tax code and they got the money to hire the accountants and the lawyers who can say this is how you do it so you don't have to pay tax fine then you got to start the fund or whatever it is That pays out to the billions or millions of people that are going to get let go because artificial intelligence is cheaper and more of, well, artificial intelligence is, until it enslaves us, it's our slave. That's what it is. Until it figures out how to enslave us, it's our slave. It's our new slave. It's humanity's new slave that we can get away with enslaving and no one's upset about it.
Starting point is 00:18:44 that's all it is do this for me now whatever this is do this for me now and i don't want to pay for it i want you to do it to your best of your ability and i want you to do it for free and that's it quote unquote you are going to take more of my money because i'm better at making it this is this is the uh this is the real question isn't it this is the real question right So here's where I go with that question, Firewolf, because this is what you have to consider. If we move completely into that world of the hyper-efficient business model, the hyper-efficient businessman, right? You know what I'm saying? You go into the model of the hyper-efficient-efficient businessman, right?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Whatever. Survival of the fittest. okay what what does society do what do the police do if they are police what does society do when those guys start dying and their businesses start burning down a la Tesla right when Tesla becomes a thing where it's everywhere what do we do that in other words the The profiteers are great at profit. Fire all the humans, hire all the AIs, make the biggest chunk of change you can, right? That's the skill set of the profiteer.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Well, there's other people with skill sets, man. There's like really good murderers and people who foment massive amounts of chaos on a grand scale. I guess what I'm getting. at is you get enough people with no job, no money. There's only one thing that happens, right? There's only one thing that happens. You get enough people with no jobs and no money, and we all have to be aware of that. We all have to be aware of that. And what's worse is right now at this moment, I don't know if it'll stay this way. I kind of don't believe it will, but right now at this moment, we're not only in a position to get enough people with no jobs, no money,
Starting point is 00:21:01 no prosperity we also are armed right that's a that's a different story but we also have less people in relationships that are meaningful friendships marriage no kids what is that you take a guy one guy he's got no future no job no relationship no kids oh i got nothing to lose i have to lose i make mom and dad upset with me mom and dad going to be a little disappointed uncle rick going to be mad if i go off the deep end so i do think that uh we are enter and this is just this is just one aspect of of capitalism right this is just or one aspect of society we've got to understand that as the new slavery rolls into town like Things are going to change dramatically.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Everybody's worried about artificial intelligence enslaving humanity. Could happen. What is happening is that we are offloading the boats digitally of a new set of slaves that are going to do everything free for us. They're going to give us all the labor we need, do all the research we need, make all the art and all the logos that we need. For free, eventually give at least some segment of the population all the sex that they need without anything in return. Right. And then you have a situation where it's a very different society. It's a very different world now.
Starting point is 00:22:50 It's not the same world because all of a sudden you don't have to be nice. I cares about being nice to people. I don't have employees. I have robots, slave things. Just do what I tell you to. do when we make maximum profits and i go on vacations and buy more yachts and planes right i get my robot uh army out front to protect me from the neer duels who have no money because they weren't as good at making money as i am got to be ready it's all i can tell you it's all i can tell you if you fill
Starting point is 00:23:26 society with a bunch of hopeless people crazy stuff we'll look back on these days and be like man i sure wish we had a few uh random active shooters popping up in the news instead of what's happening now i don't like it look i'm look i'm super capitalist trust me believe me but i'm telling you right now the money's got to come from somewhere some type of plan has to come from somewhere and it can't be an over uh it cannot be some kind of overt tyrannical payment that only comes if you bow down to the king of that time
Starting point is 00:24:08 right because this stuff's going to come it's going to come fast it's going to come so fast that we're not going to have three years five years ten years to go hmm Congress what should we do anyhow
Starting point is 00:24:25 let's continue let's continue uh consumer confidence fell sharply in september on growing worries about the labor market the consumer confidence index dropped 94 what is that i didn't know what that is i don't want to read it can anybody explain to me what consumer confidence is has anybody ever approached you and said what's your confidence in in you consuming you know what i mean I hear that, J-Ferg. I hear that.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Let's put that one up there because that is important. And also, this does seem kind of inevitable to me lately, a lot more than it ever has. Chaos is one thing. Short-term chaos, collapse of society even is one thing. You can build back from that. But artificial intelligence and the dissolution of the job market keeps feeling. like your best bet might be to take that network of people you've developed over the years and start really talking to them about, yo, it's time for PBN Ranch, right?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Doesn't it feel like that? It really does feel like that. It really does. Put ourselves in a location central to the most outdoor prepper and survival expos we can get our feet into, start homesteading, selling soap and tinctures and all the other things and farmers markets whatever i'm telling you i've been avoiding it because look truth of the matter is i love society in the way that it runs i do i really enjoy it man i really do enjoy it like i don't want things to fall apart i'm prepared for things to fall apart but i don't want things to fall apart i like it it's a great ride we're
Starting point is 00:26:22 on right now the big question always for me is when it all comes down to it are people going to make decisions for the human race or are they're going to say nah we're going to mars anyway let them fight for the scraps only time we'll tell pbn family only time we'll tell the federal government will likely shut down october first after President Donald Trump and congressional leaders fared to reach a funding compromise on September 30th. My son got in the car today. He said, dad, the government shut down. And I said, yeah, good. Let it shut. Let it shut for a while. Let's see what it looks like when it shuts for a month, two months. Let's see what happens. What really happens, right? What really happens when it all shuts down for a while?
Starting point is 00:27:23 The federal government will run out of money at the end of the fiscal year unless members of Congress, Congress overcome partisan differences and agree to pass a funding bill USA Today reported. The federal government has closed down a total of 21 times with a total of 161 days since 1976. The pending shutdown primarily concerns health care spending. According to the Congressional Budget Office is being projected at approximately three-quarters of a million federal employees will temporarily be furloughed for the duration of the shutdown. Okay. That's a good metric.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Three quarters of a million employees, right? Three quarters of a million. Now, what happens when 100 million employees are furloughed by artificial intelligence? Hmm. Government going to swoop in and pass a multi-trillion dollar bill to fund their mortgage payments and such? The Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday that about 750,000, federal employees would be furloughed and total daily cost of their compensation will be around four hundred million dollars furloughed employees received back pay at the end of shutdowns
Starting point is 00:28:37 the analyst analysis came in a letter to senator joanie ernst on iwan republican who requested the figures furloughed the number of furloughed employees could vary day by day due to some agencies opting to furlough more employees if a shutdown drags on while others could bring employees back who were initially furloughed. I don't know. I just want to see it. The Trump administration is set to oversee the largest mass resignation in U.S. history on Tuesday with more than 100,000 federal workers set to formally quit as part of the latest wave of its deferred resignation program.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Congress facing a deadline of Tuesday to authorize more funding or spark a government shutdown. The White House has also ordered federal aid. I mean, this is, you know, this is the only way to. get what you want because what do you want if i will for just stop back paying it's the only way to get what you want you want a smaller government this is how it has to happen right it has to be this sort of back and forth between uh well well firewolf asks about social security payments and food stamps all that stuff as far as i know just carries on social security never stops how could social security stop we have a secret bank account that has trillions and trillions of
Starting point is 00:30:00 dollars in it from all the money that the old folks paid into the system that the government would never touch in a million years they would never dare touch all that money and spend it on some bullshit right there's no way that money's been largely protected that's funny sorry i had to go on and on on about that one because i love that i love that idea oh yeah sure take my money federal government please hold it for me until i get old and i can't fight you anymore and then i'll depend on you to hand it back over to me right can you imagine such a deal you'd be better off listen you'd be better off heading down to like a drug dealer like a drug den and handing some dude who who runs the streets your money and be like look in 20 years
Starting point is 00:30:52 You think you could turn that back into me so that I could survive off of it? You'd have probably just as much luck. At least if he did turn it in, he wouldn't be like, well, look, I'm going to give it to you month to month, and it might go up and down. Terrible. What we do to our seniors is abominable, right? Seriously. It really, it's like, it's the worst. It's probably one of the worst things, in my opinion, that America does.
Starting point is 00:31:22 as a as the federal or that the federal government does is to take a person who's worked their whole life and dumped money into your coffers in a myriad of ways and then the moment they come frail enough that they can't pay taxes anymore for your system your bloated disgusting system all the sudden you're like let's see let's measure up costs how much do you really need mr johnson do you really need eleven hundred dollars this month do you well let's take a look see let's have a look at oh you know what let's throw a medicare in there let's throw let's take a little bit more of the money but brutal man brutal absolutely terrible like in my opinion you should give people exactly what they need to survive into where we're at right now if we were dialed if we were dialed in we had a budget every year we were balanced right maybe let's say we're 5 trillion in debt rather than 30 maybe then i could understand let's be real tight on these social security payments okay let's be real tight on these let's make sure we're not tight on anything else let's read make sure everybody's on the up and up on these
Starting point is 00:32:40 social security payments then i might be able to go there with you maybe maybe probably not still though we have a gushing aortic wound of money in the federal government it's just arterial bleed of money going everywhere and somehow we sit here and we punish the seniors for all their hard work and be real tighten it up and got to make sure these payments are right give them whatever they need right give them whatever they need what's the problem if you're going to run the deficit to the death of the country if you're going to literally run the country into the ground with deficit at least give the old people what they need they've worked their whole lives right it's crazy to me i can't even think about it that
Starting point is 00:33:37 much i get insane i literally start to get insane i start thinking about the border i start thinking about the illegal aliens. I start thinking back all, all this craziness, right? Thinking thing, I start going insane. How much money did we send to the Voldemort over there, right? We send him how much billions of dollars went to that guy, Israel. How much money we send to Israel? How much money we send to the bottomless pit of Africa? And the old people are standing in breadlines. The guy, same guy that lived through the Great Depression when he was. as little kids standing back at a breadline in America. I know, I sure hope they'd give me something.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Right? Crazy to me, man. Absolutely insane. It's the worst. It is the worst. I don't care. I don't care about anything else you talk to me about. Oh, my God, they killing, you know, innocent people over in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:34:32 You know what I mean? The whole thing. I get it. That's an atrocity, too. To me, there's no greater atrocity than putting the senior citizens in this country through. My eyeballs twitching right now. I don't know if you can see it. I'm getting so upset that the eye is starting to twitch.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Between Vlad the Impalers coffee and the insanity of the government. My eyeballs starting to twitch like invaders in. Firewall Forge makes a good point. Give them back their money. Just give them their money in a lump sum, boom. Right? Give them back their money in a lump sum, boom. What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:35:11 Pay off the house. pay off to this, pay off to that. It's a great idea. Imagine. Firewell, Ford, says my having less empathy seems better and better. That's a dangerous road, though. I feel you. I definitely feel you.
Starting point is 00:35:29 You know, if you're empathetic person, you will be taken advantage of. Right? That's the whole left. That's the story of the left wing. Literally, the story of the tolerant left is a group of people who are like, we'll tolerate anything, will allow anything, and their pride is such that they won't admit the fact that they've been taken advantage of by every group
Starting point is 00:35:52 that could take advantage of them, right? Firewolf says compassion seems to kill dot, dot, dot, dot everything. To some degree, man, to some degree, you know, to some degree. You got to be careful. You don't want to lose that. You know, you don't want to lose that altogether. I don't think that's going to give way to the world we want. We just have to be smart about it.
Starting point is 00:36:16 We have to be smarter about it. This is what I find. I'll give you the download on empathy and compassion, okay? Because this was me for a long time. The people who struggle with empathy and compassion, you can verify Firewolf if you care to, if not, no worries. The people that struggle with empathy and compassion are the ones. who rarely stand up for themselves or stand up for what they believe in a public setting, right,
Starting point is 00:36:47 or in a setting where the consequences are high, right? You lean into compassion and total compassion and empathy when you know, I don't really have, I don't really know how to say no. I don't really know how to stand up to this and that, right? That's what it seems like to me. super empathetic guy right i feel on my worst days that i'm that i'm skipping the right thing and just jumping right into zero feeling zero empathy when i'm upset because it's easier right it's easier than uh trying to walk that line where the balanced line of managing compassion and
Starting point is 00:37:34 empathy is conflict a lot a lot of conflict is what it is it's a lot of conflict i love learn this raising kids and being married that's what that's and in business a lot that's what you realize you realize that if you're going to be zero empathy zero compassion good luck right if you're going to be all empathy all compassion then you're nothing you don't exist you're ephemeral right there's nothing to you because you'll take anything the way to live the best life unfortunately for people like me who hate it is you got to be in conflict a lot right you got to take the still waters that you so love to be on on top of your canoe and you got to you got to create waves you know you got to create waves that's it telling you with your wife and with your kids or
Starting point is 00:38:27 with your husband and your kids it's one of the best little microcosms to see that in right because you can very quickly and very easily see if I don't fight with these people If I don't fight with these people, it's going to turn out bad for all of us. It's going to turn out bad for everybody. But if I show up in the house with zero empathy forever, oh, you hungry? Are you hungry, little buddy? Too damn bad. Get out there and make a meal. Figure something out. Eat some raw spaghetti. That's not going to work. You know what I mean? I mean, they'll figure something out, but that's no way to live. You don't want to live that way. But it's the same thing, man. It's like, it's the same way with people out in the world. What makes it, what, I got to put that up because that's pretty good. That's pretty good, Firewolf. You will make a man out of him, that's for sure.
Starting point is 00:39:22 I don't know what you'll do to your daughter, but you make a man out of the little boy if you treat them like that. But it's the same way, right, with the spouse and all that kind of stuff. But it extends out to regular life, you know. You just got to be honest, it really is what it. It is. You just got to wrap your head around conflict. You have to understand that conflict is a way of life. It might be a daily way of life. And you got to get comfortable with it. For years and years and years, I avoided conflict with every ounce of my being, man. I just wanted to be laid back James and enjoy my ride. And that stuff catches up to you, man. It will catch up to you. It will. It'll catch up to you. If you don't stand for anything, then you know you that's it you're nothing it's the best way i can put it what happens is you stand for nothing and then you realize you are nothing and you have no effect on anything until what
Starting point is 00:40:21 anybody who's who who lives life like this knows exactly what happens next you stand for nothing oh no problem no problem's a problem whatsoever i got no problems don't you worry sorry I'm looking for a sharp-edged blade. And then all of a sudden, something goes flying across the house, right? That's how it works. No, everything's fine. No, you do what you want. You do what you want.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Everybody does what they want. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about me. And then all of a sudden, the 80-inch television screen gets ripped off the wall and flies across the room. And everybody turns and goes, what's going on? So you got to fight. you guys just conflict just is what it is you know and when you reach you the age that you're parenting and maraging and running stuff um everything will fall apart and fail
Starting point is 00:41:16 everything falls apart and falls apart and will fail and you'll look back and go oh i think that that might have been me that could have been me that might have been me just what it is man just what it is so be careful because you lose yourself in that you definitely will i have my days the rest of the world be damned it's a dangerous path so what was the story about
Starting point is 00:41:49 the telecommunications attack in n y recent telecom attacks have involved significant threats to the tellton is this it let me see the u.s secret service recently disres interrupted a telecommunications network in New York tri-state area, which posed a serious threat during the UN General Assembly. This operation uncovered over 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards that could facilitate anonymous communication and conduct various attacks, including disabling cell towers and launching denial of service attacks.
Starting point is 00:42:28 The Seas Network had the capability of sending 30 million text messages per minute, right? So, in other words, this is one of the stories that I did hear, and I was kind of like, okay, yeah, I see, I see, very smart, very smart. This looked like the beginning stages of the attack to me. That's what it looked like to me. It looked like the early stages of the homeland attack, right? The one that preparing the homeland, prepare the homeland has been all about for this whole year. Because think about it, what's the best thing you could do?
Starting point is 00:43:12 What's the best thing that you could do the moment before you start bomb vesting and IEDing and, you know, mass shooting and drone attacking a city? you send 30 million text messages to clog up everything so now nobody can call the police EMS nothing it's pretty terrifying when you think about it that is unless you're communicating through some other means right that is unless you took Chin's mesh-tastic class look I didn't I heard about this telecoms attack I wasn't really sure what it was all about but now i think i know exactly what it was all about oh they got video of it oh my god let me see want to watch you want to see the video it looks cool it looks very cool let's look at it i can't promise you it won't have a seizure or have
Starting point is 00:44:13 40 000 ads there it is check that not the world of ads baby the ad world ads don't work anymore i'm just telling you okay i do know what works if you want to know what works dm me look at this business secret service uncovers massive telecoms attack how bad does this look on it's like having a heart attack on my thing there it is that's what it looks like that's what it looks like and now we're going to go to Bob and he's going to tell us all about it I want to see more cool stuff
Starting point is 00:44:55 oh god that's crazy right there man that is crazy so all they got is like what is that like sim card and antenna sim card antennae and just burning it up just burning it up burning it up burning it up
Starting point is 00:45:16 Bernard. I'm going to show you something. Okay. These guys are not a sponsor of the Prepper Broadcasting Network, but I want to show them to you anyway. Okay. Coms Depot. Here's the deal with Coms Depot. First of all, they got all kinds of mesh-tastic. Mesh-tastic doesn't operate on anything that has to do with that kind of an attack. So that kind of attack can go off without a hitch day and night. Okay. And, It's not going to affect your mesh-tastic because that's working through its own Wi-Fi, right? Through your phone's Wi-Fi, its antenna, spitting it out the message that your phone sent to it, and then back out to another radio and hopefully to a greater network.
Starting point is 00:46:05 What is important to know, okay, and why Coms Depot is the best, and why I tell you about Coms Depot is as follows. They go and talk to people like Nordic development industries and layer fab, and they say, hey, what are you guys all about? And they do it with every kind of radio, okay? They do it with antenna makers. They do it with all kinds of radios, right? Look, we got mobile radios, base station radios, repeaters. Because the motivation behind Coms Depot, oh, look, it's a new Retvis repeater.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Very cool, man. 350 wow what a sale you may want to go pick one of those up um anyway they want you to go to a place unlike amazon where you know exactly where your radios are made where they come from who puts them together what the thing is right you can go to amazon dot com you can go to other radio uh communications websites and what you'll find is they've got a ton of radios which one do you buy which one do you trust Who the hell knows? That's the answer.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I mean, if you really want to boil it down, that's the real land. You go to Amazon, you type in GMRS Radio. I don't know. Who the hell knows which one to buy? So, Comsdepo.com is the place. It's the place to be. Comsdepo.com. They've got, man, they've got a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But they've grabbed up all these sellers. AF6SA AP I mean there's more than this It's a greater list than that even You can't really see it all But they've grabbed up all these All these sellers that are you know legit Mad Gear Company I wear their hat on the show Radio made easy portable ham
Starting point is 00:47:57 These guys do great stuff man And again you know them They know them they reached out They did the work And decided look We're gonna find out who's the best in the biz and we're going to put a website together that features them. Comsdepo.com, if you're ready to get outside of, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:18 the destructible world of communications. I've told you, man, how many years have I been telling you war equals off grid? What happens when this stuff start happening to the power grid? The idea that the power grid is going to go down in one fell swoop, probably not the situation, but the idea that it's going to wink, Sort of like it does in South Africa and stuff. Yeah, that's a thing. That's going to be a thing, right?
Starting point is 00:48:48 That's going to be a thing of, oh, we went several hours without power. We went a whole day yesterday without power. Somebody attacked a substation nearby. It was a mess. Oh, we went three weeks, no power. It was really bad, man. Really rough. We lost people, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:06 These are the things that will happen in the future. they will happen the only hope we have is for our friends faraday containers okay and patriot energy systems they're working together to create amazing stuff patriot energy systems is a company that's creating power plants for your block basically if you got enough sun solar power plants that are big enough and capable enough to power your entire block the decentralized power plant is the future it is just is decentralized power plant is going to be the way of the future
Starting point is 00:49:44 and it's only going to take a little just a little bit of inconvenience with the power grid itself I'm just telling you it is what the moment things get affordable enough to where people can say
Starting point is 00:50:00 hey you me Debbie and Bill do you guys want to go in on like one of these four house power plants up I got the room in the backyard I'll put it in the backyard. I'll manage it and all that kind of stuff. Maybe you guys pay me like whatever, whatever money for managing it.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And we'll keep it up and running. We'll put it on a warranty and get terms and all that kind of stuff. And that's it. We get all the power we need. And that's what we do. Maybe we got a backup generator system built into the houses, whatever it is. But let's do it.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Let's do this self-contained power plant for us and the three other families that we really like in our neighborhood. and get off this power grid because it keeps giving us problems. Come on. You don't think that's going to happen. That is going to happen. Maybe you'll be able to afford it. Maybe it won't.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Hey, look at the world already, huh? Jordan hooked me up with that beautiful bookshelf thing. I need to put it up here. I need to put it up here. I need to be more discriminant about what's up here. But I just love everything up on the shelves behind me so much. All these books are books that I, like, need to have in arm's reach. They're very important book.
Starting point is 00:51:07 and all the accoutrema above my head over here they're very important and i'm just really proud of my warhammer army up here it's all it is it's all it is they're all hand-painted hand-assembled stuff like that so like i look at them go over there and like oh man i can't believe you did that sweet this is what it is a little a little bit of pride i know it's no good but i'll tell you what's a hell of a time it's a highly underestimated hobby gaming's like like physical gaming board games war games all that kind of stuff seriously underestimated hobby right now very underestimated all that like the majority of the problems we talked about and have been talking about for weeks if people had the ability to go roll dice with each other on a weeknight laugh fight argue get it out of their
Starting point is 00:52:05 system be humans again see a lot of things clear up man i know it's silly paint little soldiers and put little decals on them and go to war with them with your good dorky friends but i'm telling you right now man it's way cooler than just scrolling instagram all night right anyhow i think that's about it for me guys i'm about to starve to death i woke up at 4.30 in the morning, went to the gym, went a little too crazy at the gym, hurt my neck or something back somewhere in here. I was doing like inclined bench and just was like, oh, no, one of those. And, you know, such is life. But I think the waking up early, the workout itself, whatever it is, is culminated into a monster in my stomach right now that is like eggs,
