The Prepper Broadcasting Network - The Future of America and The Continuity

Episode Date: July 25, 2025

In this episode, we are discussing what the future holds for America at large. www.pbnfamily.comwww.limatangosurvival.comwww.packfreshusa.com

You're listening to P.B.N. You will pass back the stability here. Well, good day, folks. What is up Friday? Holy moly. Now the week has come to an end. Welcome into the Prepper Broadcasting Network. In the woods again today. Got a feeling we're gonna get ourselves a gimbal and turn this into a regular sort of event. No backpack today, whoops.

Gotta get my process written down for these things but suffice it to say man you know what a nice way to start the day let me get the comments up here oh yes you got it Jay Ferg it is another beautiful day oh my god i think it's gonna be 99 enrichment today 99 enrichment there will be some serious sweating and suffering later today but i wanted to talk about the future of the nation we're uh we're about six months into Trump v2 and there's a lot of stuff going on man. There's a lot of trends, a lot of, you know, unnerving trends. What's the temperature in your neck of the woods Jaybird? What you working with?

Oh, there he is, the born to brap. The born to brap is with us. Yeah, guys, feel free to interject. In chat, we're doing a bit of like, you know, predictions show, if you will, trends show, if you will. Judson Carroll, the man behind herbal medicine for preppers, he commented, he posted something up on X this morning that like really made me nervous. And it was, it was a little bit of a flex, which is fine, I don't care.

But it was a thing that made me a little bit of a flex, which is fine. I don't care. But it was a thing that made me a little bit nervous. And what the comment was, was that he, I guess he gets approached by ladies who are like 25-ish, and they always are interested in talking to him about his varied interests, right? You know, like dating-wise, like interested in dating him in that age range. And they say that he's interesting and has a lot of interests and things like that. And why that made me incredibly, no, I don't think he meant for it to be that way, but why it made me incredibly interest, uncomfortable if you will, is, it made me worry more, more about

the coming generation, you know, more, not the coming generation, but the young generation and I started thinking I wonder if the young men are becoming monochromatic they're becoming monotonous to the point where you know the old adage is pretty straightforward girls just want to have fun there's got to be a it's got to be a tinge of fun to it, right? And I'm starting to think like I wonder if a generation of guys who Essentially worship money and play video games Are boring Sounds boring sounds really boring

But it's really easy to fall into like that little little hole so. I don't know. The polyamorous America could very well become a thing. You know what I mean. I think it's starting to become a thing already it's probably not a popular thing but I think we're seeing shades of it. Maybe not in the outright sort of church of Latter Day Saints type of day type of deal. But yeah, in other words, well, I think the biggest thing that we have to avoid right in the future of this country country is a growing sort of well of underachieving people, men in particular. And what do I mean by underachieving?

Maybe that's the wrong word. But how about a growing well of, you know, you want to use the L word, but you don't want to use the L word because you could don't want to use the L word because you could categorize a guy walking around the woods with a cell phone as the L word too, right? I guess guys who just aren't finding, guys that aren't finding their way onto the human path, let's go with that. Guys who can't seem to find success in their personal endeavors, their professional endeavors, in their relationship endeavors.

And unfortunately that does feel like a trend that we're not only dealing with now but could be dealing with for a while. And what makes me most nervous about it is kind of where does that well of men go? What do they go into? When they eventually do find their quote unquote home, what does that look like? You know what I mean? What hellacious thing are we giving birth to, right? You see this sort of, what is it? This trend of ambushing police officers and ICE agents and the like. And it's one of those things, man. It's a product of the, some of it's a product of that.

Some of it is a product of that. I of it's a product of that, you know, some of it is a product of that. Idle Hands are the devil's workshop, man. That's as old as it gets too. And as real as it gets. So it's a dangerous thing. So I find myself wondering when I see different, you know, stories about, what was it, Wisconsin? The Wisconsin of all places just started their own left-wing militia to combat the right-wing militias that show up at protests, right?

This is going to be a thing. You know, the day, I think the days days of the left wing in the country pretending that guns are scary and not useful and all that kind of stuff, I think that's a wrap. I do think that's a wrap. The tool that is the firearms is definitely solidifying itself in the left wing in the country, which is one of the reasons why I think we have to do a Civil War scenario in is definitely solidifying itself in the left wing in the country. Which is one of the reasons why I think we have to do a Civil War scenario in the continuity very soon.

Right? Jordan says in regards to men, always liked older men, men my age were stupid and only wanted one thing. Yeah, I get it. We're all after the new, we're all after the new, we're all after the new Black Templar's Codex, Jay Ferg, that's all there is to it. We're all after the new Warhammer models. That's all we want. I'm just kidding. It's the popular meme, right? That's a funny one. But yeah, I do concern myself with that. I think that the continuity would be a great place to sort of really play out the early stages of an American Civil War 2.0.

We could do a really good job with that. Our community could do a really good job with sort of bringing that to life. And then we could also look at that from the, you know, from the perspective of where would you fall in a situation like that, right? We may have to do a series. One of the things I never thought about with the continuity

is series. In other words, to me, it was always kind of a one-off, a one hit. And there was a big, bad earthquake in sort of like one of our early on meetings with the earthquake in British Columbia. There's a big earthquake. how do we deal with it? Then it's over, move on.

The continuity are monthly members only meetings. Check it out, pbnfamily.com. But this one that we're doing now, this sort of three-parter with the Homeland Terror attack has really been fun and has really kind of given us the ability to think over an extended period of time about one issue and sort of how we would deal with it, right? I had a few ideas about where to go after this because on Monday we'll be doing our final one.

We'll be doing Los Angeles and the massive terror attack in Los Angeles and you know how we deal with that. And now I'm thinking maybe we move into something even bigger. Maybe we move to explore the American Civil War 2.0 and see what that looks like, you know? And maybe we could use various points around the country, you know, multitudes of locations, multitudes of situations to really kind of fill that out and feel that out. I bet we could get a pretty good grip

on what it would look like in this country. Through our, you know. We just have awesome people that show up and give their two cents and it's a really fun time. But I, yeah. Will it ever come to pass? Are we on the track to something like that? I think at best we see skirmishes, you know what I mean? I think like the very closest we come to something terrible like another civil war is sort of

skirmish based. It's hard for me to envision like full on this side of the country versus that side of the country. But I think we could see some serious skirmishes for sure. Because it just seems like, well, I guess what it comes down to is how malicious the left-wing militias want to become. How malicious the militias become. Or the movements, right? Because at the end of the day it's all gonna come down to how do we make the right-wing move? How do we make the right-wing violent, right? That's sort of been the problem for any kind of Civil War situation in the country, any kind of serious finger pointing in terms of one side is more crazy than the other, right? What's up, Fire Wolf?

It all comes down to trying to figure out how to make the right get violent. And thank God we've all held our patience, you know, over all these years and all this crazy stuff that has happened. But if the left ever figures out which buttons to press, if these left-wing militias figure out what to do at certain protests in order to bring things to these left-wing militias figure out what to do at certain protests in order to bring things to a boil rapidly. Yeah, we could see, we could definitely see some civil wars in the streets, I bet. We've passed the point where we have sort of like armed factions figuring opinions, you know what I mean? We're past that already.

We already have factions of people who don't agree. They both show up to big meaningful protests. They stare at each other across the beltway. So it's getting there. It's getting close. So look for that folks. Firewolf, you've been in the continuity before So look for that, folks. Firewolf, you've been in the continuity before. Look for that.

I think once we get out of Homeland Terror attack, we're going to move into an even broader Civil War scenario. Civil War 2.0 across the nation just like we did with the with the homeland attack multiple locations multiple situations maybe even maybe even finding ourselves on all sides of you know sort of like a good story where one one month we could be you know on the one month on the left, one month a civilian who's staying out of it all together. I think that could be pretty fun. Power, BBN family. And I don't mean the kind that comes from the barrel of a gun. I mean the kind that comes from fossil fuel.

I think that is a... This is a new, a whole other sort of wrinkle in... off-grid power. I really do think that the funding, one of the great battles, one of the great fights that we're going to have either against each other or against governments, certainly against corporations, is going to be the battle to power artificial intelligence. You know, forget about, for a moment anyway, forget about what artificial intelligence can do or might do or that kind of thing. But wrap your head around what it's going to take to power, right? This monstrosity. Think

about how it's gonna feel when you start to see the terawatts necessary to feed the sort of ceaseless hunger of artificial intelligence. Remembering the verbiage of the carbon footprint, right? And understanding what your carbon footprint is on the planet And how important it was that you do x y and z to have your effect on climate change We're going to see and it's already happening. I've seen them years ago The data centers going up in the power plants that are going to go next to them or or be built with them. I power plants that are going to go next to them or be built with them. I read on the Gray Man briefing this morning that by 2030, we could see a 58%, so nearly

60% spike in power costs to fund artificial intelligence, to power artificial intelligence. I want you to wrap your head around that because in your day-to-day life, what's it doing for you? I feel like I turn it off and juke move it more than anything else, you know what I mean? I have yet to see a situation in my life where this thing has been anything but fun and games. And of course, that's the issue right now. The issue right now is companies are trying to figure out how to convince you that it's an essential technology. They're using the fear first, the fear of war.

Oh, China's going to get it and then we're all in trouble. If they get it before we get it, if we get it before they get it. But the reality is, it's like the football stadium on steroids. That's the way I'm seeing sort of the artificial intelligence power drain and infrastructure necessity You're gonna pay for it. I'm gonna pay for it, right? except You're actually gonna pay for the thing that takes your job away and then And you won't be able to pay for it anymore and they'll blame you

But it feels that way. It really feels that way, folks. It feels like these data centers are gonna go up everywhere they can go up, and the cost of power in your area, if you're near a data center, is going to go up, and you're gonna be powering this monolithic artificial intelligence with its ceaseless

hunger for energy. And the worst part about it is how much of that's going to benefit you? I mean, really, like, AI at the highest levels, how much is it really going to benefit us, right? Imagine what South Park could do with AI in 2030. I think you're talking about the show, right? Am I reading you? Am I reading you right? So yeah, I think there is, there could very well be a war amongst the humans over artificial intelligence. There's definitely a, like a, and I don't know if it's a war war, it could very well be a war war though. There's already great discussion and great

concern. And that's merely for like the, you know, oh, they might, oh, AI might wind up doing this, AI could wind up doing this, AI probably will wind up doing this. That's where we're at. But once people start to see the jobs disappear, well, who just fired everyone? Someone did just fire everybody. Johnsonville?

I want to say it was Johnsonville. That might be wrong. I can't remember. But a couple days ago, I saw an article where there was a massive layoff for AI tools. For some reason, it's Johnsonville's running ringing true in my head, but I don't know if that's it or not.

I really don't know. AI is a dangerous tool. No more self-thought or effort. Yes, it is dangerous. It is dangerous, Jake Berg. I think if we do, or when, I should say, when we go red beacon media, I think we'll have to create a world that does not utilize... There's some enormous mosquitoes right here where I'm sitting. I mean,

they are giant. They are giant. I'm donating blood to the cause. I think we'll have to go no AI. You know, they're very, we talked about the future of America. There's undoubtedly going to be no go AI zones for sure. You know, the other big thing is human-to-human interaction. It's gonna go off the charts, folks. It's gonna go off the charts. If you have a skill set, guitar, conversational piece, whatever it is, like if you can talk to people, if you're good at meeting with people, if you're good at engaging with people and adding value to their life in real time, in real life, flesh and blood, now is

the time to figure out what that looks like and to start planning for it. Really. Like a lot of people are taking advantage of it already. Jordan Peterson kind of hit it before it's Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris hit it before anybody seen it coming really. And I think, I think it was actually before it was a necessity, in all honesty. They started doing these big talks about, you know, psychology, social issues, all kinds of crazy stuff that for a long time, nobody would sit and listen to if you gave them money, let alone pay money for it, right?

But they started these big talks and they became insanely popular. Jordan Peterson used to do these talks on these biblical lectures that are really good to listen to on YouTube. And it gave birth to this sort of touring talker. And I really think that touring in general, no matter what that looks like, whether it's entertainment, music, improvement, you know, whatever, teaching, the whole thing, like,

you want to talk about something with high value in the future of America, you want to talk about something people will be willing to pay a lot of money for, talk about something people will be willing to pay a lot of money for. It's going to be to go meet with other people. It's going to be to go, um, learn from somebody that you know, for a fact, that standing up there on that, that stage, you know what I mean, or to go hear music that you know is coming from a human body. Oh, those are people. One of the things that's happening to music right now is it's being dominated by amazing grooves created

by AI, which, you know, whatever. It gets you through the day. It is what it is. But it can never come. You know, it will. There's no soul, folks, right? There's no soul. And seeing that artist that you love live, I think is going to be way more valuable than it is right now. So, you know, factor that in.

Factor that into your life. There is a good chance that over the next, or maybe I'll use the, over the next or by maybe I'll use the maybe I'll use the old adage it's an enormous spider on my on my thing right now let me help him get off of here hey you gotta go you gotta read home um by 2030 I'm sure you'll be seeing some semblance of the Prep for Broadcasting Network in person a lot more and in a lot more places than before. We've got some ideas, we've talked about it, but these are the sort of the backlashes that will happen, right?

There are going to be people who staunchly against artificial intelligence, who want nothing to do with it when it comes to their entertainment and their enjoyment, their art, you know, the whole thing. All the while though, there is going to be this brewing battle in the minds of all Americans, which is if we really are paying, and look, we have to pay. There's no way they're gonna get around the pay. You think the corporations are gonna fire their whole staff and say, well, we might have used to that instead of paying our CEO,

we're gonna dump it into the power bill. No, you're gonna get us to pay for the power. And our bills are gonna go up and our employment opportunities are going to go down. Entrepreneurship is a survival imperative, folks. Remember? Remember five years ago when I started the Cubicle Escape Plan podcast for our members? If you weren't there then, if you aren't a member, I don't know what to tell you, you know.

Five bucks a month, pbnfamily.com. But I started a podcast probably five years ago. Maybe more. And the tagline of the of the cubicle escape plan was entrepreneurship is a survival imperative. At least to some degree. You know, it's not to say you have to run a business that's successful and stand alone and all that, but it is to say like pretty good idea to have some means of income outside of the people who are right now in meetings figuring out how to do away with you or how to get your job done with artificial intelligence, right?

Because make no mistake about it. There are There are meetings happening all over, probably all over the world right now, who are figuring out how much money can we actually save if we start axing people's jobs? You know what I mean? If we get artificial intelligence to do X, Y, and Z, and even more importantly than that, like that's for the right now, but what about in the next 10 years? In the next 10 years, there's probably some owner of a massive corporation who's sitting there going like, I won't even need my CEO in 10 years.

I won't need a COO, right? I'll have an executive suite that is completely built from grok. Yeah. That's what's coming. That's what's coming for the real hard stuff on the artificial intelligence side, no doubt about it. Right? It will be. I really think that the money for the average person to make will be in the world of flesh and blood

because it's the only thing that AI can't replicate. You know what I mean? They can never replicate the real life. They can never replicate you going and seeing someone live in a small venue, taking questions, listening to the hum and the strum of the acoustic guitar and the vocals that have been practiced. Sports, even. You know what I mean?

Yeah, robots, boxing, and all that kind of stuff, cool. But pales in comparison to the willpower and the you know The truth that is humanity But this is the future of America, I mean there's no doubt about it, you know, there is no doubt about it So we talked a bit about Civil War we talked a bit about Artificial intelligence we talked a bit about civil war, we talked a bit about artificial intelligence, we talked a bit about relationships. These are some serious, serious sort of concepts and content. I do think in tech in general, I really do think in tech in general we'll see sort of a

I imagine it'll be something either of a split or a serious regulation at the personal level of technology. You know the phone is probably on its last legs when you think about it right. You know, the phone is probably on its last legs when you think about it, right? The cell phone, this thing, like walking around carrying this rectangle. I don't know. It seems like it's on borrowed time, right? It's hard for me to look forward 10 more years and say, there's an iPhone 50 now. No, I don't think so. Technology is going to go inward. I think two things, right?

I think either technology goes inside or you get further disconnected from it. I really do think that this is sort of the splintering of at least technological beliefs and dependence, right? The splintering of that. And there will be a splintering. I mean, there's going to be people with neurolink. There's no doubt about it. They're going to be super humans with eyeballs that can see, you know, to the tops of the trees, right?

Ants crawling on the tops of the tallest trees, that kind of stuff. But my generation, you know, my kids, I think a lot about my kids and their relationship with technology and how they've watched, and I'll just tell it like it is, but they understood what our life was previous, right?

What their parents' life was without so much technology. And they understand what their life is with so much technology. And I think it would be really tough for a kid who didn't experience as much flesh and blood as they would have liked. And I think that's a lot of kids. And if it's not their perspective now, I do think it will become their perspective the older they get, you know. Sort of the older they get, I think they'll come to the conclusion like, I wish I'd done

more in the flesh and blood world. And even if it and that might not even be the sole sort of deciding thing, it might also be, I wish that we all weren't so tethered to online gaming and online, you know, video calls. And I wish that we were in a situation where the only way we could get together is if we got together.

So when that generation raises kids, right, how do they manage technology in their life, in their kids' life? Right, do they go deeper into the isolation? You have a baby, you look at it, you say, do I want this kid to be further isolated? Or do they say, no, we're going to put some real restrictions on technology at all, right? And of course, the big problem is for our generation, for us as parents, is restrictions restrictions on technology right now without a generational movement.

You know, maybe they certainly can help. You can see your child do things that they otherwise wouldn't do if they were distracted by tech. And it's good for the child, right, in terms of not being completely distracted from life all day and night, which can happen. But at the same time, you're thrusting them into a world then where everybody else is inside on said device, right? In my book Poems for Men, there's a poem called This Now, and this now is about this now, you know what I mean? But you know, it's bigger than that. It's about sort of watching life happen and understanding that it can't always be this way, but it's this way now and you should enjoy it. But there's a line in there about the spell breaking on a snowy

day. I took my son out to the slopes and we spent all day out there. And it was a lot like a spell being broken. The neighborhood looked like a neighborhood. There were kids everywhere, kids outside, going down hills and that kind of thing for hours. And it just, you know, that's a cool thing, but that's a rare thing. Very rare thing. I'm gonna head home. I'm gonna head home and eat some eggs and some scrapple and drink some coffee. I hope you enjoyed the meandering. We didn't do much by way of forging today. I apologize. I was thinking more than I was looking. Trying to figure out what the hell is going on in my country here now. How about the threats

outside of Civil War and the US itself? You know, another thing that makes me a little nervous about the future is sort of the one-off lunatics growing in quantity. Right? A lot of weird one-off sort of weird stuff happening. Bombs and sabotage. Maybe it's not as lone wolf as they make it seem, right? Very interested in what happened with Starlink. My initial thought, what was your initial thought when you heard about Starlink? My audience should have one thing that comes to mind right off the bat, right? The sun. The power of the Sun. Yeah. The moment you see that's the thing about an EMP, right? That's the thing about the the sun-born EMP, the solar flare. The question of whether or not NASA would tell us, the government would tell us, if

the big EMP was coming, the big solar flare was coming that was going to shut all the lights out for good. Sometimes I wonder if that's even the question. Sometimes I wonder if even, if they even know enough about the sun and the sun's energy to be able to say something big is gonna happen and you better prepare for it or don't tell them because something real big is gonna happen and we don't want them to panic. You know what one of our greatest flaws as humans is we we we know it all baby we know it all our scientists know it all we figured it We know it all. Our scientists know it all. We figured it all out. Our experts, we have experts. They're experts, right?

They're experts in things, but they're always learning new things, which is really interesting when you say the word expert. No, you're experienced, maybe, but I don't know about experts. Who the hell is an expert in the sun? You been there? How many weeks a year you spend with the sun? No, it's all readings. It's all trying to figure out what's what, you know. And the first thing I thought when I heard Starlink is down was not China. It was the sun. And we better start giving the sun credit, folks, for cooling, for heating, for electricity disruption, for radio wave disruption, because that's

the real trump card, man. We don't know. That's the real variable that we don't understand. Seating the clouds and blocking out the sun and assuming that it's just human beings who are destroying the planet or overheating the planet and so on. That takes this gigantic ball of nuclear bombs that's going off at the edge of our solar system and just puts it in the back seat. Like, oh yeah, we get it.

We understand it. We know what it's doing and what it's not doing. What it really is is that you don't have a Tesla yet. That's the real problem. What it really is is that you use a charcoal grill. That's the real issue. So PBN family, you know, prepare yourself. The future has already arrived.

As I say in my intro to surviving America, the future has already arrived. And now is the time to prepare for it. If you are not interested, as I am not, in really jumping off grid and being completely off grid, I understand. But I can tell you that being separate of the power grids, being separate of the large-scale resources that we depend on, it's going to seem more and more commons sensical as the years pass. You know, it's going to see more and more like, oh, okay, yeah, we just got to get off the grid. That's all. But here's the hope. Well, here's the reality. More and more technologies are going to come along that allow you to do that easier, right? So keep your eyes peeled. I'll keep the eyes

peeled as well. Because there's a lot of stuff out there. I'll keep the eyes peeled as well, because there's a lot of stuff out there. I've been trying to get this Patriot Energy Systems guy on who has these sort of mobile solar, serious solar power generating systems. I'm talking big, you know what I mean? I'm talking like power your block, standalone, you know? Off- grid, essentially. So yeah, know that that's part of the deal now. That's just part of the deal. And it will be part of the deal. And we'll probably many of us slowly, slowly, but surely work our way off the grid and have have a different answer than what it used to be. Because the grid, I think itself, will be taken over by

large corporations if it hasn't been already. And most of the power generated will be used to feed artificial intelligence until we do away with that completely. Or until someone gets so mad that they take the power grid down themselves. All three. And then America's thrust into darkness and it's Tyler Durden, you know what I mean? Let the weak shrivel. I don't know, folks. All I can tell you is get prepared. Visit PBNfamily.com, spread the word about the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Consider joining us on the membership side so you can hang out with us once a month with

the continuity. Meetings, you'll get tons of great information on preparedness and survival gear review and writing and I'm sorry I got distracted there's a new there's a new mushroom in town actually there's a couple collections of them can you see them I'm sure not sure it's different than this polypore it almost looks like it could become a bit of a sulfur shelf. I don't think so though. I think I'm wrong. Can you see it? My knee's in the way.

It's coming to pass, right? Yeah. Very sturdy, nice. Same sort of thing. Probably good to take right now. It actually feels nice. I'm not sure. Some of these polypores, you know what I mean?

They look almost like they're going to be sort of chicken in the woods and then they don't get any color, so they deceive me. But that's all part of the game, baby. Get back to the flesh and blood world, okay? Get back to the flesh and blood world. Okay. Get back to the flesh and blood world. Like I said, share the podcast. Like and subscribe.
