You're listening to PBN. You're playing back the stability. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death. know how the humans need guidance pbn family the humans the humans need guidance i'll tell you

thinking about the EMP Thinking about the EMP And how wild it is That this thing that can happen That can come from the sun Like the most likely situation, right? Shuts down our entire life. We've built a life.

Now, we knew about the Carrington event, but we built a life anyway around this, around the power grid, around this concept. And now at any moment in time, the sun can say, all right, light's out.

Now you guys know this, but what's most interesting? There's two things that are very interesting to me about this. The first one is 200 years ago, the planet could get hit by a violent EMP and nothing would happen. For the most, I mean, nothing notable to humanity, right? It would not be an end-of-the-world scenario.

The EMP has become fundamentally, if large enough, an end-of-the-world scenario, right? Now, there is a lot of, I've written in the past about the effects of solar flares on, or the electromagnetic pulse from solar flares on earthquake activity. That's legit. I don't know if I can hearken back to whatever it is that's in the ground that is affected by the electromagnetic. I want to say it's the quartz or something. I don't know.

Anyway, irrelevant for the moment. The courts or something? I don't know. Anyway, irrelevant for the moment. It's funny that 200 years ago you get hit by an EMP, you know, coronal mass injection-induced electromagnetic pulse, and you don't bat an eye. You wake up the next morning, maybe get some aurora borealis, you know,

down south, further south than normal, yada, yada, yada. So that's interesting, right? Carrington event happens. For those of you who don't know, look it up. If you're new to the prepping world, look up the Carrington event. It's pivotal. It's incredibly important because if you don't know about the Carrington event, which is exactly what we're talking about, a powerful EMP from the sun, then it all seems like some stuff from Hollywood. It all seems like some stuff that the preppers

are making up. Oh, if North Korea puts a nuclear weapon up there right in the center of the country and hits it just right at the right time, then it could put the... The reality is these things happen. I'm pretty sure one happened in the Northeast too. I want to say late 90s. I can't remember the exact dates. Not big enough to wipe everything out, obviously. But the potential for that, the sun's massive, you know? The potential for that is real. So it would be one thing, right, if we were like, okay, well, we know that the sun will spit out massive amounts of energy from time to time.

Sometimes they'll whiz by us. Sometimes they'll hit us head on. What we know, if it hits us head on, the lights go out, the electronics surge and die, fires, so on and so forth, right? What we've decided to do is build our entire life into electricity. Then we built our entire life into electricity and computers. Now we're building our entire life into electricity, computers, and artificial intelligence and satellites. What's next? Now this is, so, okay, we make it this far. We make it this far. A lot of smart people out there, man. A lot of people talking about EMP. The world of prepping is everywhere now.

We're like smeared across everything. You know what I mean? The EMP is not just something you read about in our groups. Everybody's talking about it. Oh my God, the death of the internet. Can you imagine? Everybody's talking about it. And what direction is the world headed?

more electronics more electricity more connection with machines and the power grid and the internet and the, right? this is astounding when you really sit down and think about it

when you really sit down and realize that in 10 years, an EMP is going to be a death sentence for people. Literally. In 10 years, there are going to be people with way more essential stuff running on electronics. It's got to be. I mean, it just has to be that way. 10 years from now, 2034, you don't think there's got to be. I mean it just has to be that way. 10 years from now. 20.

20. 34. You don't think there's going to be people. Who have bionic this and bionic that. So rather than recognizing the fact that. Every day you wake up. Right. There's a lot of threats in the world.

There's a hell of a lot of threats in the world. But every day you wake up. And you look up in the sky. And you go, oh, look at that ball of massive energy and fire up there in the sky. So powerful that it can make all that heat and all that fire out there in the middle of space, right? I mean, I guess there's not necessarily fire, but... And we're going to look at that thing, and we're going to put our bionic eyes in

and our bionic arms on and our bionic liver and our... Put our neural link in. And then one day the sun's going to hit us with a devastating coronal mass ejection. It's going to hit dead on, right? I mean, it's going to happen. It's not like we think we're going to dodge it forever. And all that path towards the robotic and the cyborg lifestyle.

See, this is why right now is just kind of perfect. Right now, we really just have our toes in the pool, and it's so good. I think. We have our toes in the pool, and we're like, oh, it feels nice. I might jump in. Right?

Because you have your phone. Phone's nice. You know? Everybody likes to bitch about the phone. Phone's cool. Phone does a lot of stuff for you, right? Because you have your phone. Phone's nice, you know? Everybody likes to bitch about the phone. Phone's cool. Phone does a lot of stuff for you, right? But you can put it down and walk away. You can put it in an EMP bag. It doesn't even exist, right? VR headset, sweet. Slip it on. Boom. Look around. Oh, my God. I'm in another world. I'm going to slay dragons. I'm going to fight Kung Fu. I'm going to

pull out a katana and kill ninjas. I'm going to box. I'm going to whatever. I'm going to ride clouds and butterflies through space. Whatever you want to do. We got our toe just in the water. Now one guy has jumped in.

One dude has jumped in. He's got the Neuralink. He dove in. Now we're all watching him. We're all watching him with our toes in the pool like, Oh, no, what do you want to do? And so many people are going to digitize. They're going to go heavy cyborg.

Knowing now that one day the sun could shut half of them down. You know what I mean? Half of their whatever down. I don't know. It's just what I was thinking about. It makes me laugh. It makes me nervous. But we'll willingly be hooked up to computers and electronics more and more and more as the years go on,

knowing that the sun can just burp out the end of it all. It's almost like the EMP is something of a warning, right? Don't do it. Whatever you do, don't do it. Because I'll shut it all down. Hey, listen, we're going to talk about SHTF infrastructure today, tonight. This show is live, and you can call in tonight. Okay, I think I've got this pretty down, or down pretty well. Yeah, there we go. You can call into the show if you want to discuss whatever it is you want to discuss. Any topic really is fair game tonight.

I'm going to be focusing on SHTF infrastructure. Every American needs some SHTF infrastructure, and I'll get into that. I thought I did a show about this, but I did a piece of membership content about this. show about this, but I did a piece of membership content about this. While back, actually members, I should thrust this back out there again. It's a good one, but it's a serious topic, man. It's no joke. Let's do a quick run of an ad or two. We'll come back. We'll get into the show. The lightning is cracking outside. The thunder is blasting. I have a Coca-Cola. I have a Coca-Cola in a red can. I don't even know if I'm allowed. Are they on the ban list this week? What am I allowed to drink this week? All right. Be right back. PBN Family, don't go anywhere.

Quick question. When's the last time you practiced with your firearm? My last trip to the local gun range cost me over $200. It's time to add the iTarget Pro to your firearms training routine. iTarget uses an app that runs on your phone and a laser bullet that goes into your own firearm. Right now, save 10% with the offer code PREPPER when you purchase the iTarget Pro system at itargetpro.com. This is the perfect dry fire tool for our monthly training routines. That's the letter I, targetpro.com, offer code PREPPER.

Looks like there's some turbulence up ahead. It's a good thing you found us. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Newer path.

Act as stability. Man, I forgot I have a brand new Collapse Survivor ad for you guys. Rats. I may play it at the end. I'm in the latest simulation of the Collapse Survivor app. All I can say is that I'd highly recommend, you know, you pick it up. I can't force you to do it. It's in the app store. It's in your app store. It's, you know, alerts, stockpile. If you want to get into that, what I'm having the most fun with are the simulations okay and the simulations

walk you through these crazy instances these crazy things that are happening and uh along the way you learn things along the way you are taught things along the way you uh are asked questions today i had a great question i mean it mean, it was out of nowhere. You have to understand where the app comes from. The app comes from us. You know what I mean? It comes from people like us. It's people within our circle, which is another reason I'm loving it.

But I had a question just out of nowhere. It doesn't have anything necessarily to do with the current scenario. But this was it, right? It was all about a neighbor. You traded a neighbor for some eggs. They gave you a bunch of eggs because they had poop on them. And then they asked you, you know, what do you do with eggs with poop on them? One example, I mean, this is the first time I ever had sort of like a pop quiz. I mean, this is the first time I ever had sort of like a pop quiz.

A lot of time, these things are more like, you know, you have a decision to make. You have a scenario that you're in. You have to make a decision in a time moment or in a time frame. I don't know. They're fun, man. You know what? No, I think we're good. I thought I heard my dog whining in the back. I was going to run the ad for you to run and get him.

It's been a rainy day all day, PBN family. Beautiful. Okay, he is whining. Let me just check out the Collapse Survivor app I made. It's kind of fun. It's only like 30 seconds. Let me go let the dog down from upstairs so he can stop whining. And then we'll get into it shtf infrastructure

all right hang tight pb and family come in i need your help i need backup the collapse survivor app has killed me off two times now the current simulation i'm trapped in is almost too believable. You will also get real-life threat alerts from Fortitude Ranch and have the option to manage your entire prepper inventory. Go to the App Store, download the Collapse Survivor app, and be prepared to test your might. I'm having a lot of fun with the old voice mod. So let's get into it, folks. You know, there's so much going on all the time anymore.

I'm losing my will to be a reporter. I don't even really want to go into what's happening with actual infrastructure in the United States. Okay. The SHTF infrastructure concept is one that is old now. It's like two, three years old, but it's, I don't know. I don't know if anybody else has ever talked about it, so I wouldn't want to take full credit for it. It's something I talked to Dave Jones about a long time ago. He may have inspired it in me a little. He probably did. have the infrastructure to rapidly increase or create sort of shtf inputs when the time comes

now that for some of you that's going to be like i already am going as hard as i can go you know i've got all the animals all the garden so on and so forth this may be lost on you i don't know it may be All the animals, all the gardens, so on and so forth. This may be lost on you. I don't know. It may be. I bought a chicken coop. I think that was the last chicken coop that I bought, right?

And it came in a box. And it was, I think the box was about maybe 8 inches to 10 inches wide with all the panels and stuff packed into it. You know, shipping is very effective anymore. So even if you're the type of person, and this is where the most value is, really where the most value is in this concept is for people who are at zero or at next to zero you live in and let's say you live in a in a small yard you have a small yard you live in an hoa the idea of chickens is a laughing stock right like it would never happen first of all i'd say you need to fight that i really am at the point now where I believe everybody should have four to six chickens. Why not?

You know what I mean? That's just my take. But if you can't right now because of the way the world is right now, remember, everything comes down to the way the world is in this moment. In other words, if you haven't noticed, things change. They change drastically, and they change rapidly. And when they change for the worse, well, there's no greater loneliness than that, is there? There's no greater loneliness than when things change for the worse and you look out

across the world and realize you're alone and all the things that you have done to support you and your family are all you have to depend on. There's no government going to come. I mean, the people in Hawaii. People in Hawaii get $700 from the government there and that's it. They'll never hear from them again. the government there and that's it they'll never hear from them again this aid from the government also i think is going to lessen you're going to see less and less you already see nothing which is probably fine it's probably better that way to be honest who wants who needs them right a box the size of a small chicken coop can be slid into a closet an attic behind a door a shed under the house and at any moment you can build a chicken coop right now you can construct a chicken coop many people don't know this in the walk-around world,

but the elbow-thrashing level of humanity. But you can just mail-order chicks, you know? You can mail-order chicks, you can mail-order fertilized eggs and go that route, or you can do what I do primarily and develop a relationship with people who have chickens. Lots. Like not the guy down the street with six chickens, like the guy 30 to 45 minutes away who has 159 chickens. You know what I mean? And you can get their number and so on and so on. And this gives you, on the micro scale, just having the chicken coop, gives you the ability to say, okay, the price of gas is now $6 a gallon.

The cost of eggs is now whatever, right? And the cost of all food has gone up to extreme prices. So everybody's panicking. And what I'm going to do is put some chickens in my backyard and the city, the HOA, the neighbors be damned, right? And here's the beautiful thing about the neighbors, by the way. If the food is out of control and you're suffering, the food prices, if the gas prices are out of control and you're suffering, if the economy is suffering at large, well, that's when you just go, hey, I'm going to get some chickens. If you have food scraps, just throw them over the fence and I'll make sure you get some eggs too.

Every time my chickens do something crazy, right, and I'm allowed to have them. I'm completely within my, you know, whatever. But sometimes they get out the yard and wind up doing weird stuff. I'll get a text from a neighbor or something like that. Whenever that happens, I just give them a dozen X. Thanks so much for letting me know, boom. You know what I mean? The concept of SHTF infrastructure is about having it, either having it and using it or having it and waiting to use it.

Having it and using it or having it and waiting to use it? Now, you guys listen to Dave Jones, and you hear about his goats and his quail and his rabbits and his chickens and his ducks and his turkeys and his pigeons. What else? Am I missing anything? What I learned from the Joneses, uh, was how important this SHT infrastructure can be. SHTF infrastructure can be. I remember Dave telling me about building a duck box in like a day or two or something like that. Like speedy, like we need, we, they bought the ducks, didn't have the Duck Box, right? Luckily not a super challenging build, but still. But I've been to the homestead up there on the mountain, and I've seen it in full swing, and I've also seen it in offseason.

And the reason Dave Jones, well, one of the reasons Dave Jones can say, all right, it's all hands on deck. We're doing goats. We're doing chickens. We're doing ducks. We're doing turkeys. We're doing rabbits. We're doing quail.

The reason that he can snap his fingers and start that is because he has the quail pens. He's got the rabbit pens. He's got the duck box. He's got the chicken coop. He's got the duck box. He's got the chicken coop. He's got the barns for the goats. And they're always there. That is SHTF infrastructure. And then it comes down, of course, the reason he does it successfully is because he's an absolute animal and his wife is one as well, right? They get it done. So having this stuff is one thing, you know, using it as another, but I would highly recommend that everyone have some SHTF infrastructure on hand,

even if you're not using any of it. Now, what kind of stuff other than chicken coops? Now, what kind of stuff other than chicken coops? I mean, you can go big and talk about things like barns, sheds Or you could talk about things like greenhouses You could buy a greenhouse in a box and never even open it Never even put it together until whatever Most people, when it comes to growing things, you know, they don't mind putting those things up. Fencing. Years ago, I talked about fencing and the amount of fencing and the importance of fencing

and having extra fencing. Just the other day, I had to put some chicken netting, not necessarily fencing, but chicken netting over the coop. Not over the coop, I'm sorry. We keep our chickens inside of the yard, inside of another chain link fence, and I topped that chain link fence with some chicken, some poultry netting for an added layer of protection. And also to keep them in their damn structure in the daytime. Because sometimes, you know, around the afternoon they get a little adventurous.

But targets, you know, like wooden targets for knife throwing, axe throwing, BB guns shooting, that kind of stuff. Greenhouses, root cellars, saunas, great health benefits for the sauna, smokers, coops, and also just lumber in general, right? Nails and so on. These are all SHTF, pieces of SHTF infrastructure. You know, it's another good one to have rain barrels or barrels in general. I didn't write that one down in the notes. 55 gallon drums in general can do a lot of things. You know, if you find yourself in a situation where you're like, I don't know if I'm going to use these and you want them out of your way, they can just be cut in half and turned into planters, you know, holes drilled in the bottom, whatever. They can be turned in all kinds. I mean, you could turn a 55 gallon drum into a clothes washer.

You get the book, No Grid Survival Projects. They have the whole build in there. It's an awesome little bill. I didn't build in there. It's an awesome little build. I didn't do that one. It's an awesome little build, though. It's basically turning a 55-gallon drum and a bicycle into a clothes washer. That's pretty sweet.

That's fitness and utility all in one. I love that. If you go to the show description, there's a PBN link tree. You can go in there and buy no-grid survival projects if you're so inclined. But having this type of infrastructure on hand is where we need to be. It's what we need to be capable of in a moment's notice. I like the concept because it can affect a lot more people. Because by having these things built, you're not breaking any rules. You can line the whole back of your yard with rabbit pens.

with rabbit pens. You could do that tomorrow. Your neighbors say, what are you doing? I'm just building pens. As long as there's no rabbits in them, if you're not allowed to keep rabbits, there's nothing anyone can do. You could have the biggest chicken coop in the world in your backyard

so long as you don't live in an HOA that's tyrannical. And if there's no chickens in it, then there's nothing anybody can do. It's not like the city can roll up or a neighbor can call the police. But the moment things get too squirrely, But the moment things get too squirrely, you can pull up in that truck, in that car, take that cardboard box out, and show the chickens their new home. You know, egg-laying hens, right? Egg-laying hens.

You don't want roosters if you're in a tight place. Because the't want to, because the neighbors are going to kill you and the rooster, if that's the situation. But all this stuff, you know, it's completely up to you to do. You can either do it now or you can do it later. You can battle for the right to be able to do these, keep the types of animals you want to keep on hand. You know, I think chickens is a winning battle for the right to be able to do these, keep the types of animals you want to keep on hand. You know, I think chickens is a winning battle for everyone. But your capability to build this kind of stuff is everything, man. You know? Or assemble. You

don't even necessarily have to be some master builder. You could just have things in boxes them when the time comes. Listen, 804-767-7171 is the phone number. 804-767-7171 is the call-in number if you want to talk about SHTF infrastructure, you want to talk about Baltimore, to talk about Baltimore, Scott Key Bridge, you want to talk, whatever, I don't care. We have the ability to take calls and we don't do it as much as we should. I pay for it every month. We don't do it. But that's all right. You know, that's how the cookie crumbles. You know, that's how the cookie crumbles. But I want you guys to have access to that number, 804-767-7171. Give us a call. You know, the medium of radio is the best.

And I think the death of AM radio has, not that it's completely dead, but it's getting there, has really screwed us up, man. There's something so beautiful about hearing another person remark on what you're remarking on or what you're talking about on that show. And knowing that they didn't prepare for it they didn't write down notes they're not a master in the field they're just an american calling a phone line and and giving their two cents that's what makes am radio great you know and with so many people rushing to video you know people like i gotta do gotta get the high quality camera and lighting and this and that and do it all. I mean, power to you, man. It is what it is. But nothing beats, nothing beats the audio, in my opinion.

And also for people like us, the audio is how you get things done. Right? the audio is how you get things done. Right? When I watch YouTube video podcasts, I got 10, 15 minutes maximum before I feel like, okay, what am I really doing here? Because you have to sit still and do it.

You have to sink into the couch, stare at the video screen. Dylan, do it. You have to sink into the couch, stare at the video screen. Something about it just doesn't feel right. With a podcast, I can slip the phone into my breast pocket, zip it up if I'm wearing my coat, and get to it, man, whatever it is. I can put it in my pocket and listen. It's where it's at. So, I do want to read something to you tonight, folks. I like for everybody to hear, you know, these kinds of things when they pop up. I don't always read them to you. It just is what it is.

when they pop up. I don't always read them to you. It just is what it is. Many of you out there are afraid to express yourselves in ways like this. Listen, it's not a prerequisite or anything like that. I take time to do things like this.

I take time to write emails like these to people who are doing a good job. I find it makes me feel better. So I'm going to read you something that came from one of our members. And I don't know, just awesome. Today, oh, to understand this, I posted a members-only podcast today about my take, now that I've had some time to sit on it, watch it unfold, and so on, my take on the Keybridge collapse, okay? Let me say I sincerely appreciate your calming remarks today in your finite address.

I'm hopeful folks will understand where you were coming from and just take a knee, deep breath, and listen. Thanks again. He goes on to talk about something that's not necessarily part of the deal. Thanks again, and I feel blessed

that God put you and the PBN family in my path, always focused and always forward. See, because we do Prepper Camp every year, we know you're out there. We know the quality of individual that is out there. I'm always surprised when I get an email like this, but I'm not...

I'm not... I'm surprised that it's come through, but when I read it, it makes sense. Not because of the accolades, but because of preppers. It's just who you guys are. I say it to people they don't know. You tell people they don't know. You know what I mean? They have no idea.

They have no idea what you mean. You say prepper, they think crazy people. Still, you say prepper, they think, well, they figured some things out, but they're still nuts. It's a very different thing than that. You know? It's just a very different thing than that.

I'm going to take one more break, folks. I have, uh, I think I have something going on I need to check on. Get yourself the Prepper's Medical Handbook, though, okay? Do yourself and your bookshelf a favor. Are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency? This is the Intrepid Commander, and I'm holding The Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgy, MD. In this great book, you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid. You'll learn about assessment and stabilization. You'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response, radiation, and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home. Look, 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our

medical infrastructure in America. Get the Prepper's Medical Handbook today at Amazon.com. Again, that's the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgy. False alarm. False alarm. I don't know what that is. The dogs, they start barking. You got to go see what's up. I know what it is. Walmart 7-Eleven and Chick-fil-A start drone delivery service. That's another piece of SHTF infrastructure worth talking about. Surveillance.

Surveillance and drones in particular. Drones are coming down, down, down in price, man. You know, in another year or two, well, if you know where to go, actually. Let's see. Let's take, let's peruse. I ain't looked at them in a while, but I'm telling you right now, when you have the ability to go up in the air and pan down with a good high quality camera, you can learn a lot about what's happening in your immediate area. Yeah. I mean, let's see. You can get, if you wanted to throw run of the mill drones up in the air with, let's see. You can get... If you wanted to throw run-of-the-mill drones up in the air with... Let's see the camera quality. 1080p HD quadcopter.

Probably pretty short running time. Excuse me. $49.99. There's another one here. I don't think it would work. It's too cheap. It's $25. Here's another one here. I don't think it would work. It's too cheap. It's $25.

Here's another one, $24. $38 for the X800 drone with camera for adults and kids. 1080 FPV foldable quadcopter. Look, these probably wouldn't be the most ideal, but they'll get the job done. Self-flying camera. The X1 self-flying camera pocket-sized drone, $479. $479.

These little quadcopters, man, they're astounding. They are. They're truly astounding. I mean, what they can do for you is unbelievable. Mini drone with camera, 1080p, foldable drone, $49.99. And there's a ton of brands. It's insane what's out there now. But just, you know, if you had a handful of them and you flew one,

but if you had a handful of them and you became proficient at one, you don't even need to become proficient, though, actually. I mean, better, right? Better in case you decide to do some, if you're in a bad, violent interaction and you decide to deliver a little service of your own using a drone, wink, wink, sign them all, then it'd be good. It'd be good to know how to use the thing. But in all reality, they have the return home buttons, a lot of them now.

If you can fly it straight up and and get a bird's eye view of what's happening close by i mean it's it's for security purposes it's unbeatable it's unbeatable communicate to everyone you know what you're seeing up there and the rest of your security force tell them what's happening close to their area, their area. Oh, there's a car coming down the road. Looks a little shady. You may want to pay attention. You may want to check on that.

You may want to hide from that. We're going to send two guys over to your position just in case something looks off. Not to mention the backup of checking those people who are part of your security team, right? I mean, unless you're one of these guys who has a well-oiled machine of a prep or group, chances are you're going to be running security in a collapse situation now we're talking about.

You're going to be running security with people who you know or maybe don't even know, but they're just allies in the community, you know? It's hard to put the trust into those people, you know what I mean? So you can say we have got aerial surveillance as well. Not necessarily that you have to spy on them day and night, but letting them know that, right? What was I going to talk about here?

Oh, the delivery. Yeah, the Walmart 7-Eleven Chick-fil-A Star Drone Delivery Service. No, we went through that. That's what I wanted. The age of AIBS. The age of AIBS. The age of AIBS. PBN family.

The seeds are in the ground. The onions are popping. So many things. PBN family, the seeds are in the ground. The onions are popping. So many things are underway, and I hope you have a lot underway for yourself. I can't express enough how important it is for us to be driving towards self-reliance and independence. And maybe just as important that we share that experience. Share it with your neighbors. Share it with your coworkers.

Share it with the people around you in little clips, you know? Just share it in little clips. I bought a chicken coop. Do you have chickens have chickens no we can't really have chickens but we you know i want to get them one day maybe we'll move or something do you know what i'm saying share little little peeks into your life bring the vegetables and the eggs into the office and share them once a month or something like that oh i didn't know you had chickens. Oh, yeah, they're easy. You should get some. Everybody wants in, okay?

That's the way it is right now. Everybody wants in. And do you think it's going to get better or worse? Do you think more people are going to want to raise their own food or do you think more people are going to want to raise their own food, or do you think less people are going to want to raise their own food? Do you think more people are going to want to carry firearms or less people? What do you think, based on the direction that we're going? I had a chilling thought.

I was listening to an old episode of Michael Savage, and he was talking about it was right after Trump got into office. And he was talking about, imagine what this country would look like if Hillary won. And I couldn't help but think how different the world would be. If we went from 2016 to 2020 under Hillary Rodham Clinton rule. And maybe even she would probably likely have won a second term. You know, so we'd been eight years under her right now. Can you imagine?

Wow. That would have been wild, man. That would have been wild. I. That would have been wild. I can't even fathom it. I got some Robert Frost over here. I got a little Robert Frost at arm's length. I got a little Khalil Gibran at arm's length. I hope you guys have been enjoying the PBN Daily News.

I only did one this year so far. One PBN Daily News, that's it, this week. But then again, it is only hump day. It's spring break, so I'm not as free at the microphone as I am normally. Less sleep, less peace at the house. You know, the kids are here. The children are amongst us. How do they have such a profound effect on us?

And when are we going to surrender to these profound effects, this simple way of living? When are we going to surrender to it? When are we going to stop trying to be smarter than everyone else and just say, get married young, have kids young, grow your own food, and enjoy your life and do whatever it takes to make it work? You know? On Monday night, we talked to Jen Vanderater, the People's Pharmacist,

and we talked a lot about these problems and these origins of problems from people just overcomplicating everything. You know what I mean? Overcomplicating everything. I want to be vulgar right now, but I won't. Okay? Just know that I want to. I want to be vulgar right now, but I won't.

Okay? Just know that I want to. Oh, it's good to be... See, it is good to be here on the I Am Liberty Show Live, 944. To be honest, I thought we would have more audience participation tonight by way of chat room and such. Usually my 8 o'clock show is a little too early for the West Coasters, but it's a bridge I may have burned. Might take some time to build that one back. How long is it going to take to build back the Key Bridge? What's the deal?

Buttigieg is making it sound like it's going to be the rest of my life. is making it sound like it's going to be the rest of my life. I don't understand. It's got to be a symptom of the outsourcing of everything. It's going to take forever. America is wholly unprepared. Who comes into America to rebuild? You ever think about that?

A bridge went down. One bridge. An overpass went down in Philly. That shut everything down last year. I remember when it happened. When the world is on fire and nations are destroyed, Americans come rushing. Ah, here we come.

Don't worry. We're bringing the doctors. We're bringing the water. We're bringing Don't worry We're bringing the doctors We're bringing the water We're bringing the NGOs We're bringing Everybody's coming You see what happens to our nation When a bridge goes down And I can't help but wonder

You know If faced with a serious attack Like Is anybody gonna come running? If you have a cavalry great right but please please don't assume there's a cavalry coming it doesn't have to be dark either you don't have to look at that as dark right you can live with the mentality trust me i do it every day you can live with the mentality, trust me, I do it every day. You can live with the mentality of there's a good chance you're going to be on your own through the hard times. And that changes with time and hopefully as a prepper you're also increasing the amount of people around you who don't even necessarily have to be preppers, just have to be good people. You know what I mean? just have to be good people. You know what I mean?

Just have to be real people. Real people who take advice, who give advice. You know, these kinds of people, they're easy, man. These are the people you want to be around. You have no idea how rapidly you can improve your life if you go in with a scalpel and remove all the nightmarish people in your life, remove them. You know, you remove them.

There's not maybe nothing more important. You know, I talk to my wife. My wife is a hardworking lady, man. She is a corporate woman and she's good at it. But I talk to her and I say crazy things to her on a Sunday night. See, because I forget Sunday night. You know that feeling you get at Sunday? On Sunday evening?

I can remember it, but it doesn't stick with me all the time. It's sort of like when you have a good job, the Sunday night anxiety starts to creep in around 6, right? Like after dinner. And you're like, oh, there's nothing stopping it now, for God's sakes. I got to go back to work tomorrow. It's Monday. I got this person to deal with and that thing to do and this one and them and then the E.

And it's, you know, all that. And then I'll say crazy stuff to my wife like, I love Monday. I love Mondays. And she'll just look at me. That's good. Sometimes she'll bite down on the mouthpiece and say that's good. The reason that is, PBN Family, and the reason I'm bringing it up is because you've got to cut that stuff out that makes you absolutely dread the next day.

Life is too short to be dreading the next day. Life is too short to be holding your eyes open in a desperate attempt to watch one more TikTok video so that you don't have to deal with tomorrow. Right? At any moment of your life, and listen, I know all the excuses, but listen to me, especially now too, by the way. now home prices are through the roof. So that means you can't even use the old excuse of, well, I got a mortgage and this and that, and the other, right? At any moment, you can sit down with your spouse with a page of paper and change your entire life. You can, you could do that. You could say, honey,

we're going to move into a tiny house. We're going to sell this house. Or if you got a bunch of kids or whatever, we're going to move into two tiny houses. We're going to sell this house. We're going to use the money we make to buy the land and the houses free and clear. And we're going to eliminate the biggest chunk of debt that we have. And if we have anything else left, we're going to put that towards debt. You know, whatever's left, car payments, school, whatever. And once you hit that point, man, then all of a sudden you can begin carving. Then you can begin using that scalpel to remove the things about your life that you hate. This person, she talks too much. He complains too much. He always tells me the world's against him

and he has no chance. And I'm so lucky. Cut him out. Goodbye. You know, and you work your way through these people. And then one day you wake up on the front porch with a cup of coffee, and the sun's coming up, and it's June, and you're like, man, how did life get so good? It got so good because you got as far away from insane debt as possible and as far away from insane people as possible, and you started doing the thing

that you really wanted to be doing anyway. Or doing the thing that fulfills you. You know, you don't know. Everybody doesn't have to be an entertainer. You know what I mean? You don't have to be in front of a microphone. You don't have to create some kind of rewarding content. You might like just going out and building cabinets or something. I don't know

what people like, but I know that more people need to do what they like. All right, PBN family, I think I've fed you to the fullest with my inspiration, my inspirational speech there. I really want you to contemplate SHTF infrastructure, folks. Okay? This is a topic. It's not a topic that you can get 60 minutes out of, but it can change your whole world, your whole life in the right circumstance. In the right circumstance, if you can repurpose a shed and turn it into a barn and pull a coop out of the shed and set it up and maybe ring together

and what's the word I'm looking for? Plumber's cement together if you even need to. The bones of a few greenhouses with PVC pipe. Build some trellises from leftover lumber. All this stuff culminates into all of a sudden I went from having a tire swing in my backyard to being able to raise chickens and goats and grow lots of my own food. to being able to raise chickens and goats and grow lots of my own food. You can't do that if you're waking up and all shipping is stopped or the banks are closed for a week or whatever crazy situation could come.

The concept behind SHTF infrastructure is about having either the means to build it, the materials necessary to build it, or to have the stuff already built, you know, or to have the stuff packaged but not built. This gives you the ability to flip the switch on suburban homesteading, urban homesteading, rural homesteading. It gives you the ability to flip that switch basically overnight. And that's the kind of adaptability you want. If you find yourself in a situation where you're like, well, it's bad, but it ain't bad enough to leave. But man, is it bad? That's when you can flip on that switch.

And you can get your chickens, you can get whatever you want to get. And when people come knocking, if people come knocking, you say, look, it's hard times, man, we got to eat. You want a dozen eggs to take with you? How can you say, look, it's hard times, man. We got to eat. You want a dozen eggs to take with you? All right, PBN family, I'm out of here, man. I do appreciate you guys.

It's Thursday. Oh, man, the Thursday lineup tomorrow, always a great one. Go to pbnfamily.com, become a member. Don't be silly. Honestly, the amount of stuff you get just from that introductory email is outrageous. Also, members, members, members, real quick. You guys voted for off-grid builds for next month's routine. And I've got something.

I don't know if it'll be a part of it. One of the builds will be a part of it. I've got a project I'm working on for a client. You're going to love it, man. You're going to love it. Let's leave it at that. It's going to make water security a whole new ballgame. I'll talk to you guys soon. Thanks so much, PBN family.
