You're listening here to pay the end. You're paying back the stability here. Better late than never PBN family what's going on? Monday no what the hell day is Tuesday Tuesday uh this is we've got a very there was a bunch of prep that I had to do before this show just out of sheer fun. Well, one was out of sheer fun. One was out of sheer obligation. Okay. Firework Forge in the chat. What is up? First and foremost, I want to thank Lima Tango Survival for sponsoring today's show Lima Tango Survival.com. We may talk about them a little more comm we may talk about them a little more we may talk about them a Little less. I'm not sure how the show will go. I Want to start pushing our sponsors at the beginning of the show while you guys are fresh

These people make a world of difference in my life that and PBN in general. So give them some support We also got a great product Well, it's a back-to-basics kind of product for Inside the Cash today. So take that into consideration. Also another great company that supports us and let's get to it. Let's get to it. The United States, this was all brought to me, this whole beginning portion of the show was brought to me by Chin. The Good Morning Jay Ferg, the Brought to me this whole beginning portion of the show was brought to me by chin the Good morning, Jay Ferg the the the comms

absolute comms wizard of our group here at PBN Chin if you go back and you look at our prepper tips, we've been a little slack on our prepper tips I haven't put any in I got to get on the hosts Some of the hosts haven't given me a prepper tip yet. You guys owe me Give me some prepper tips Because the prepper tip of the day is fun. I like that He gave us a prepper tip on comms not long ago a great one. He's doing all kinds of cool stuff I'm gonna get him on the show. Oh Don't worry about a fire wolf for John I haven't even posted half of your videos yet

We're you're good to go man. You you've certainly earned your keep Jay Ferg you've like I said, you've been on the grind you gave me one also Whatever side note Chin did a great one on comms Chin is chin is the guy who got us all on the t-echoes all into the mesh tastic He brought that to the forefront here at PB and he's done all kinds of fun stuff I'm gonna have him on for a full-scale interview just about his whole comms journey because he was he was really big into radios and GMRS ham that kind of stuff and then then he

hit the the T echoes he hit the the Lily goes the mesh testic and and the nodes and really started building on that and to me that is the emergency comm solution that works For me, you don't got to learn frequencies. You don't got you got to know how to text You got to put some stuff on your phone. That is pretty easy the first time I tried tried it I got it right and and you know then then you got to just start to figure out your node network and how you're gonna make it work for you. It's it's the way. Unless you're a person that's like I really like ham radio frequencies, how radios work, I want to

meet with a bunch of people who are in love with Ham radio and if you're into it like that, then that's your thing do it. Oh, I got my I got my Gotham get-out hat on my Gotham get-out hat. I bought this at the thrift shop This was the hat that followed me through the night when we did our bug out exercise last year Which was like might have been today today might actually be the anniversary of Gotham getout I should run it today if I find some free time. I really need to just clamp it all together I think there's something like 20 short episodes and run the whole thing because it was such a cool exercise But anyway aside from being sort of the comms wizard for PBN

But anyway, aside from being sort of the comms wizard for PBN, Chins Up is also, he was the co-host of the Changing Earth podcast when that was on, but he's also kind of a guy who brings us great news stuff in the back channel, great information, great radio stuff, as you can imagine. And he hit me with something that sort of guided the show this morning, because it was so insane, so ridiculous, so funny. And as fate would have it, I was working on graphics and media and sort of newsy kind of stuff to put into the show for fun.

And what we're going to do right now is we're going gonna talk about the United States of Methuselah and the unbelievable findings of Doge In social security I just left my parents house So it's also you know really timely to talk about this crazy story The story is so insane that some of you may have heard of it some of you maybe not but chin literally sent me This poll all of us this post in the back channel. So I decided that we would call it Chin's up news chin's up news on PBN today Doge finds people older than America in the Social Security database

So there are people in this database that are are literally older than the United States You could see them down at the bottom there. Over 2,000 people marked alive in the social security database are over 200 years old. They're in the data. There's some people down there. Look at the bottom. 360, 369.

There's a person in that database that is marked alive, 369 years old. What do you call I mean I guess if it's one you can call it a fat finger right so I didn't count that one too much what I did really count was the one that was or the collection of thousands of people that were over 200 years old like how you never review the information, whatever. What I don't want to do with this segment is go down the government sucks because we all know that. But that information, thank you Chin, that information was so wild that I just had to bring it to the forefront of the show because there's so much of this

stuff that is being unveiled, you know. And to me, you're always hear me talk about seniors in social security because I think it is one of the craziest things. And the more that we uncover from what Doge is doing, the more the crazier it gets that there are impoverished senior Americans that have worked their whole life. You know what I mean? They've worked their whole life. And it's just wild to me. It's real.

It's crazy. And you know, there's people out there struggling. They're struggling to survive. They've paid into the system their whole life. They said, everything's going to be fine. That's why we're taking your money every week. We take your money every week, your whole life, 40 years, 50 years, 60 years working, whatever you've done. We're going to take a little bit about that money,

but don't worry. We're going to give you back money and you're going to be doing, you're going to have free medicines. You're going to be able to go to the doctor for free. None of that shit is happening. You know, none of it's happening. The reality of it is, and I hear it from my parents, the reality of it is there's this from my parents the reality of it is.

There's this what there is that really makes me wanna just like burn large swathes of washington dc down is. Not actually but what what's really going on is this constant micro management of money. For the seniors my are always talking about it goes up, it goes down, it goes up, they take money out for this and then they pay it back and then they to go and there's like we're sending literal billions across the ocean to whoever, whoever, whatever, just grab it, do whatever you want with it, we'll pretend like it's aid or whatever that somebody's gonna live better. How much money have we sent to Africa, right?

What has the money done? Who's micromanaging the money over there in Africa? So we send these big chunks of money. And then I hear from my parents all the time. Oh, we're getting a cut. Oh, we're getting an increase. Oh, we're getting this. We're getting that.

Oh, Jim, they're giving us this. They're taking that. They're doing that. So there getting that. Oh, Jim, they're giving us this. They're taking that. They're doing that. So there's some little idiot, right? That's like, well, today we have to, you know what I'm saying? We manage nothing in the government effectively having to do with finance, except the little, the little penance that we're giving to our seniors. And it is absolutely maddening.

It's absolutely maddening. It's absolutely maddening. So I hope that someone listening or I hope that someone who's paying attention in the government can see how much money we're giving away and then what our seniors are having to go through to get prescriptions to get, you know what I mean, all this stuff that never forget. The US government told them, hey, I know it sucks. We're taking Social Security every week out of your check. I know you could use that money.

But once you get older, the government is here to help. Right. Terrible. I mean, it's it's one of the. If you don't deal with it on a day to day basis, the whole social security nightmare that people have to depend on to live, you know? Like it's crazy. And with the sheer amount of money going out the door, you know, the other thing

about social security that always makes me insane is the proof of identity. I love that. That's one of those things that makes me want to just explode, like internal, sporadic, what's it called? Internal, sporadic combustion, what's it called? Spontaneous combustion. I want to spontaneously combust when I hear my mother tell me, well, we're going to apply for this program, and it's going to cut the cost of medicine.

But what I have to do is I have to bring a vial of my blood. I have to bring your dad. I have to bring a lock of your grandmother's hair. I have to bring your grandfather's war medals. I have to bring six forms of identification. Then at the church down the road, there's a line of people from Guatemala who were just rolling in getting checks, getting hotel rooms, getting phones. And I got to sit there and look at the look at the like the the event horizon of this

black hole that is the United States and try to figure out reality. I'm done. Rant over. Thank you for dealing with me on that one. I appreciate done. Rant over. Thank you for dealing with me on that one. I appreciate it. Did you guys see, we had a very out of the ordinary show last night that turned out, well, it turned out as good as I thought it would turn out, which is good, because it was an uncommon guest. It was an uncommon topic.

If you found that stuff interesting, what we were talking about, that particular journey of like slowing down, seeing the world for what it is, really enjoying the ride. Yeah, take all that into consideration, man. Take all that into, there's a lot of people who talk about that stuff, but I will say that Giovanna was, she was right on the money like when when you saw me smiling and Laughing when she was talking about specific things that It was almost like a one-for-one That's exactly how it goes. It sounds crazy on the face of it, but I'm telling you it's exactly how it goes

It is like coming out of a chrysalis firewall forge says don't burn the the capital down burn it down in minecraft You know, I I think my son would have a great time doing that with me. That sounds like something we could do today He's off today He's off today. The teachers need another day off. I'm not quite sure what they do on these days off But they take days off and that's just what it is um Yeah, yeah. What else?

Want to get inside the cache? It's very simple. Very cool little item today inside the cache. Let's do it. Let's do it because I'm behind. I'm not going to stay on like too, too long, right? Let's get into it. A long forgotten self-defense.

Get into it. A long forgotten self-defense. This is the Fox labs. The Fox lab. You guys know what this is, right? Everybody knows what this is. Fox labs, five point key chain, uh, pepper spray police grade. I think it's something like 5.3 million Scovilles or something like that. Let me get the detail.

Actually, I'll bring the whole thing up for you guys. But this comes from the Home Security Superstore, which is, they've been real good to us, man. The Home Security Superstore has taken good care of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. And what I'd really like to do is to have you guys head over there and check out the wares man because they have a lot of very affordable stuff. This is a 5.3 million Scoville heat units police strength world's hottest pepper spray. I don't know if I'm going to test it but you're more than welcome to test it. If you do test it please make a video because I'd love to watch it.

Like I said it's got the quick release key ring. It's also got the clip on the back. You put it right, clip it right to yourself. It's what it is. It is what it is. You know what I mean? It's just one of these simple, easy to use, uh, self-defense tools. Highly underrated, right?

They got the burner launch out there. They got, uh got all that kind of stuff out there nowadays and this this is just you know one example of a thing my wife carries one my I did not give one to my oldest yet because he's in school why am I lighting up like heaven has come what is going on with that but yeah for everybody and the other thing about pepper spray dudes Pepper spray right pepper spray for dudes Firewolf Forge says watch your expiration dates. That's a good one. These guys are good till 2028 I just got them like a couple months ago. I don't know if the camera is gonna get that or not. I'm not sure

Oh my god, it's scared it doesn't want to get sprayed it's right it's running from me The get when you cameras got AI in it like it does whatever it wants we should name the camera What do you guys want to name the camera think about that? Yeah, that would be fun our camera is an bot. I will show it to you one day. I'll take a picture of it. It looks a little bit like that guy from Short Circuit. It looks like it could be a relative of Short Circuit. Yeah, it's as cool as it is creepy like most things with AI, right?

It's as cool as it is creepy. But guys, men, gentlemen, I know you think you're an absolute warrior who's gonna go to battle. Johnny five, that's it. Firewall Forge. Thank you. I love that when I was a little kid, dude. I love that. What is this following? Is this following me or is it following the thing? Anyway, I know you guys think that you're like the ultimate warrior dudes And uh, you're gonna like no matter what happens you're gonna handle it right two guys One big guy, whatever i'm gonna handle it. I'm gonna go blind rage and and nobody's gonna be able to stop me, right? um

Or i'm gonna pull my gun and shoot somebody and self-defense. All of that stuff, you know, all of that stuff is a problem. I mean, if you have to save your own life or protect someone else's life, it is what it is and, you know, hope you don't have to be in that situation. But I'll tell you what's way better is to incapacitate somebody by spraying their eyes with 5.3 million scoville units of heated pepper spray. Why not? Why not carry one? You know what I mean? This one is this simple. I mean a lot of them are set up like this, but this one is this simple. You click over and it's live. Click it back over and the safety is essentially on I thought about like spraying myself in the face by accident live remember everything that happens

on these shows when you watch the video is live so if I spray myself it would have been so good anyway home security superstore the link is down below the the the unit itself is 20 bucks 20 bucks they have they have other ones too man They let's look at the pepper spray in general my point being though fundamentally my point being Pepper sprays are these things that I think Some people are like the girls carry the pepper spray to protect themselves from rapists or muggers or stuff like that like get out of that head space and start thinking about carrying pepper spray you know why not I'll tell you a great place to put the pepper spray if you

don't want to carry it on your person is in your vehicle and if you're ever in a situation where someone is road raging or whatever, they come up to your car, the pepper spray is the best solution. I used to carry a bear spray in my car and then I gave it to my wife to carry in her car back when we were arguing over whose lives matter more. I gave her the bear spray. I saw people jumping and climbing on cars and I'm like, well, saw people jumping and climbing on cars and I'm like well she's armed and if it got to that she can handle that but at the same time do I want my wife in court going to jail dealing with the

repercussions of sin and in those days it was like you know you shoot somebody that you might be condemned and judged by social media before you even make it to jury. So I said put the bear spray in here honey, here's how you use it. Somebody comes clinging onto the car doing something crazy, you light them up and that's it. Back to life baby, back to real life. Put googly eyes on the camera, that's a great idea. I like that Firewolf Forge. Johnny Five life put googly eyes on the camera that's a great idea I like that Firewolf Forge Johnny five get some googly eyes we'll call him Johnny five from now for now because that's pretty damn good I will get some

googly eyes on actually I got some giant googly eyes right up there man it's good to have kids I mean if you're if you're a child at heart but responsible enough to be an adult you need to have some kids. Um, so like I said, a lot of options over here, the home security super store, if you use my link down below, you look, shop the home security super store, however you want to do it, but if you lose use my link down below, I get conversions that way and, and you know, they get to say like, Oh, James doing a real good job, PBN doing a real good job for us.

And that's important. So they got Mace brand. They got these really cool pepper spray guns. They're sweet. I don't know how well they work, but they're pretty sweet. Dog repellent, animal spray. Yeah, cool stuff. Just one of many.

I mean, look at the dropdowns. Tasers, batons. I've got this thing. This thing is so fun. This is just one of those things that's just super fun. I think it's called the barbarian I got it hanging right next to the I'll show it to you one day in detail. Why are you breaking on me? Streetwise mini actually I have two of these. I have the these things are kind of cool. Here's the barbarian 19 inch stun gun baton, but I also have this in my car. I think it's this guy.

It's this guy, the tiger USA extreme. No, I have something like this. It's not mine. Isn't it stun compatible? But I have something like this in the car extendable. Yeah. It's a good, it's a good good it's a good little item to have you know what I mean what else folks what else let me look at the old docket here and

It's gonna be awesome. Okay, this guy is a We're gonna talk about surviving on Mars. It's gonna be awesome. Okay, this guy is a he's an author of a nonfiction book and a fiction book all sort of geared towards sort of the muskian mentality of

You know Humans being a space-faring species and I really want to talk to him you know where those ideas intersect for me is I really want to talk to him about like oh the people live. I like that. Jay Ferg, I like that. The people live. That's pretty good. We may go with that. Yeah, that's a good one. But we're gonna talk to him about how he thinks, because he's, you know, well educated on the subject, but also really big into it. I'd like to talk to him about Mars survival skills, like survival on Mars, what he thinks it'll look like and chat it up about that stuff and about space

fairing species, the whole the whole concept, because, you know, it's cool. It's cool. It's the future. It while it seems like one of those things that will never happen, it's going to happen. You know what I mean? We're going to go to Mars. It's going to happen. People are going to live happen. It's gonna happen. You know what I mean? We're gonna go to Mars. It's gonna happen. People are gonna live there. It's probably gonna be horrific but and eventually it'll get better and It just is what it I mean so long as we don't kill ourselves You know with nuclear weapons and stuff.
