Self-r-r-lines and is a bit-haping network. We have to hit the reset button and create a true culture of preparedness, starting at a very young age and filtering all the way up. Controlled substance act, which if you can believe it, now equates heroin with marijuana. That's insane. We're going to take marijuana out of that and effectively legalize marijuana in every state in the country. What we are also going to do is move to expunge the records of those people arrested for possession of marijuana. And I'll tell you what else we're going to do. We're going to provide help to the African-American, Latino, Native American community to start businesses to sell legal marijuana rather than let a few corporations control the legalized marijuana market.

Yeah, yeah. The Bernie Sanders menu, it just gets better and better. It just gets better and better, the menu. The menu of the New York Communist just gets better and better by the day. Free health care, free housing, free college, free. Now you can get your marijuana. That'll probably be subsidized. That'll be subsidized too.

Ah. Have you ever seen more of a salesman struggling? Well, now we'll throw in the marijuana. First, we're going to give you the health care. All right? And for 1999, no show. shipping will give you legalized marijuana on top of that i thank you my name is bernie sanders i'll be here all night see but the problem with bernie sanders is we don't know if he'll be here

all night or not do we we don't know if he'll be here all night or not we don't know what the powers that b really have planned for bernie sanders are they going to let him get to the finish line this year or not right or is he going to have a uh communist cocktail that will blow out one of those stints that were put in and then it'll be all she wrote for Bernie. See, but the Democrat Party is so screwed because they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they let the Marxists get in and he blows the nomination, then they're screwed. If they try to uh, gelled them like they did last year, then they're screwed too because people will see right through that. They can't even have him killed.

Even if they have him killed this day and age, people will know it. Right? There's no way they can get around. Even if he drops dead of natural causes, the Democrat Party is screwed. You do realize that. There's no winning. There's no winning for them. It's such a bad scene. Even if he somehow gets in and offers enough to the youths, to the, to the, to the, uh, the, the brewery crowd, right? Everywhere I turn in this state there is a brewery. Every, every avenue in Richmond, Virginia. there's a new brewery popping a brewery at the young couples they kid and don't even get me started i do not want to have a child

i do want anything to do with responsibility i want to work my nine to five and then meet me at the brewery where i can take pictures of my beer and my meal and my hair and my nails and my whatever if he can get enough of those if he can trick enough of those on america being a mean and hateful white, racist, colonial, what else, capitalist, nasty, stinking, rotten, degenerate nation that it is, and only an old Jewish man from New York City with purple hands can fix it, then yeah, we may have some trouble. But I'll tell you what, the marijuana thing's a big one. That's going to pool a lot of people.

There's no getting around it, right? I love the idea, though, that I do, by the way, this is the I Am Liberty show. my name is James Walton. Nice to have you. Nice to have you on this evening here. February 26, 2020. We've got a lot to talk about. I just am emboldened and a little heavy on the politics right now because I got something in the mail today that's going to rock your world, but I'm going to make you wait for it. It wasn't from Bernie Sanders. It was from Michael Bloomberg, and it will rock your world. I also got some soap from the hero's soap company that I can't wait to try out. They may be a new sponsor of ours and affiliate sponsor. But we'll talk about that later. Yes, today is my birthday. You don't have to send me anything.

I'll tell you what. Ben, the breaker of the banksters from Patriot Power Hour, gave me one of the best birthday gifts I could ever get. He became a patron. So if you're out there and you're saying to himself, what can I do to the Intrepid Commander? What can I do for the Intrepid Commander on his birthday that would really make him smile.

I'll tell you what, come join us over at Patreon, all right? Makes a huge difference. Makes a huge difference for us, and there's a good chance you probably won't even feel it, aside from, well, from the financial standpoint, right? You won't even feel it, but you'll get a ton of great content. I talked to the patrons for almost 20 minutes today. And I could have done a whole other video.

I could have done a whole other video, but I told myself, Jim, don't work too much today, man. Try to take a day off, try to relax, try to do some of those things, get those things off that list that you really want to do. And here I am, podcasting. No, I have to come. I have to come talk with you. You know, I was almost going to be live. I was considering going live, but you know what?

It's been a rough week for sleep in the Liberty Casa, to be honest with you. And I need to focus on that. And it's not just because I'm a prima donna and I want to make sure I get my eight hours. I never sleep eight hours, first of all. Second of all, sleep is part of the protocol that we're following here. You know, it's part of the immunity protocol for dealing with what we're dealing with in the coronavirus. Okay. That's all there is to it.

There's no magic behind it. But I'm in bold and I want to have fun. I want to make fun of Bernie Sanders and, you know, have to have a little bit of, I have a little fun. I know probably some of you out there for him. You probably love the idea of the man who's going to come and fix everything with Marxism. Right. I'm a socialist. I'm not a Marxist. I'm a man. Give you this, this, this, and I just love it.

I was talking to my dad before the... Talking to my dad before the show, and I was telling him about how Bernie Sanders kind of reminds me of beetle juice. You know what I mean? He's like this creature that you call on three times, and he shows up and tries to scare. Okay, we are here and we are live, folks. It's James Walton. It's the I Am Liberty show on the Preparation. Prepper Broadcasting Network. Have you been paying attention lately?

You, we're, it's going to be a crazy week. You better hold on to your hats, okay? And the theme of tonight's show is, we will be tested in 2020. Okay. And when I say we will be tested, I don't mean the public, right? The public is being tested right now. They're probably losing their minds, right? They don't know what to do. They want to celebrate because their man is over there kicking butt on the Democrat side, but they're also probably terrified because the CDC just came out and said, yo, you better prepare. You better prepare for some serious disruptions in day-to-day life because of the coronavirus. Right?

We just found out before the show that there was a... There was a... What do they call? Why can't I think about it? The ladies on the planes. I know it's not a gender-specific job. Forgive me. The stewardess.

stewardess on L-A-X was positive right positive West Coast taking a whacking this could kill

this could kill California I'm to be honest with you this could be like the final nail in the coffin in California the last I heard

California is is planning on prescribing housing for the homeless now just as they would antidepressants right give them a house

well give them a house ain't it's not our money well ha ha ha ha Don't you understand this racket? I don't get it. I don't understand how you can look at it and say he's going to pull from some magic bag of money

and give everything to everyone. I look at my children. I can't help but give my kids things. I give them too much, right? And then I get mad at myself and I say, you know, if you keep giving these kids everything they want, they're going to be monsters when they grow up. You know that.

Got to tone it down. We talk about it, the wife and I. So that logic sticks with children, right? You give kids... I don't want to go down the rabbit hole. I really don't. But what I do want to mention is preppers tonight. You will be tested in 20.

This is merely the beginning, right? We're not even 60 days in to the year yet. We're not even 60 days in. We've got a pandemic. We've had an impeachment. Australia was on fire. We've had a battle for Second Amendment rights in Virginia. Just the beginning, by the way.

Is it? Not even 60 days in. Hold on to your hats, preppers. And listen, this year will be where the rubber meets the road for many of you. You know, the way this virus is going to spread, it's going to have a lot to do with areas affected, shortages, closures, and how that all impacts your life. You know, one of the crazy things about this thing is you could be. be affected by food shortages or resource shortages that

happen in a different part of the nation because the infection is in a different part of the nation you may not have cases in your part of the nation but you could definitely still be affected rather by the virus right i don't want to spend the whole time talking about the virus because we have been we have been absolutely letting it lose You know what I mean? We have been crushing this virus over at Prepper Broadcasting Network. And it's going to continue. It's going to continue Saturday.

I'm sorry, Monday. Let me turn this microphone a little. Monday, we will be live with Stephen Menking, with myself, with Dave Jones, with Jordan Smith, probably with Chin Gibson as well. And listen, we're going to be dropping it again. because I think after this weekend is going to be even crazier. I think this weekend is going to be the weekend where people are going to say, honey, when we get paid this week, we're going to go buy some water,

we're going to go buy some things. And it's funny I once the CDC declares it that all of a sudden it's okay to be a prepper again. Right? All of a sudden it's okay to be a prepper again. For me, I even got out and bought a few things today. I even got out and bought a few things. Would we be okay if we had to bug in? We would be okay if we had to bug in. You know, the beautiful thing.

The interesting thing, the beautiful thing, is, you know, we have ways of making money in our household that don't require people to leave the house, you know. And we're lucky that way. Well, we're lucky that way, but we also set it up that way. You know, luck only takes you so far. I got news for you. luck is well you know what luck is

luck is opportunity but if you don't tackle it if you don't seize it then who cares about luck right so we're lucky and we're opportunistic

and we've you know we won't live the life that we live now but we won't be poor we're not going to be the type of people that say oh I can't go to work therefore the money stops entirely and that's a scary position

and that's something that you guys need to think about because your boss could say don't come to work. What happens? You know, a lot of people are framing this thing, preppers in particular, as this idea that, you know, I got to know when to stay home because I want to make sure my family's safe.

Well, don't forget, we live in a litigious society. And that litigious society, in that litigious society, companies may say, okay, we have our own protocols. We don't want you here. We're going to close the doors because we'd rather lose two months' revenue instead of however many millions if we get several employees and customers

infected with the coronavirus from shopping at our store, whatever it is, whatever the case may be. Okay, so you kind of got to be prepared for that. You may not be, you may, see, we have this weird idea because we've taken all of the steps and we've made all the precautions and things like that that, that we are in control. That's where preppers get confused, right? We are in control of this thing. Not so much.

Not so much. We're not nearly in control as we think we are, you know, and it's a terrifying thing, but it's real. But in 2020, we will be tested. Preppers, we will be tested, okay? And the reason I bring this up is because I want us to stand strong in the face of this. You've got to understand, my role at the Prepper Broadcasting Network has been very clear since the beginning, right? I want Preppers to take a new place in society. I do, because I think emergency preparedness is our weakest link.

It is our weak You could climb a chain Whatever It's our weakest link Period There is nowhere in America That we are more weak Than when it comes to

When it comes to emergency preparedness And it's a laughing stock to most people Right Oh it's a big joke You carry a What do you carry a gun every day for And a flashlight And a tourniquid

You're a paranoid schizophrenic Look if we lived in a society Well, I can tell you right now, and I've mentioned this before, and I've been meaning, I really want to get with our man over at Archangel Dynamics, but I just haven't.

There's too much going on. You know what I need? Here's my problem. I need a project manager and two assistants, or a project manager and a co-owner to really be at my best. unfortunately. That's where I'm at.

But we don't make the revenue for any of that, which is why I need you to come to Patreon. No, but really, I mean, there's a lot of menial tasks that are taking up my headspace, and there's a lot more that this network can be, and will be, in the future. But I've been meaning... Uh-oh.

The prowler is here. I've been meaning to get our man from Archangel Dynamics on, because I wanted to talk to him about the idea of combating the active shooter problem in America through education when it comes to stopping the bleed. You know, I have a theory that if, and this, of course, is if we really, as a society, are going to sit around and say to ourselves that the last thing we want is armed people in our churches and schools, which to me wouldn't hurt me at all. You know, I drop my kid off.

I drive away from school every day. And at least once a week, I think to myself, today's as good a day as any. Today's as good a day as any. To have that nightmare. To have that nightmare that every parent has. Right? The idea that someone figured out how to get into the school

and they went in and they just started shooting. you know and maybe your baby lived through it or maybe they didn't but even if they lived through it they didn't really live through it right that's not you know once an active shooter runs through a place it's it's not like if you if even if you don't get shot you still got shot you know what i mean you still have scars so this idea of uh being able to patch people up a really serious campaign on teaching people how to patch people up and carrying the things that really work when it comes to saving lives. You know, active shooters, they want the numbers, and then they want to check out, right?

If they find out that all of a sudden people are wrapping arms up and tourniquets and shoving quick-clog gauze into bullet holes as soon as the shooter goes away, if people around those who are injured can render aid serious, real aid. I think you got something there. You know, and these are the types of solutions that preppers come up with. You know, because we're the only lunatics who carry around tournequin. I don't know what it is. I don't want to diagnose myself.

I don't really care, you know. For a long time, I had to hide this. I had to pretend I wasn't this. And it was a nightmare for me. You know, I had to close off this portion of my life. And everything's fine. No, everything's not fine. everything's not fine and like i said in the daily audio cache a few days ago everyone's a prepper

just takes it takes a certain chain of events right right now the cdc's recommending that everybody become a prepper all the sudden overnight i believe that our network and networks like well i don't know if there's any network like ours but our network and other influential preppers in the genre and in the niche and in the community and in the culture or whatever you want to call have the ability if we can keep it together through 2020 to stand out. And you know what? If you're out there listening, if you're involved with PreperNet, or if you're involved with any of these other prepping organizations or blogs or the type of thing like that,

I think it's time that we start taking notes, that we start taking down successes and writing about data points. and preppers go on the offensive. Because we're living through hell right now, period. End of story. Categorical. We're living through hell right now. Right?

We have nations that were on fire that are now being affected by a pandemic. Does anybody know the definition of pandemic? I keep hearing people in the media talking about, I think this has the potential to be a pandemic. Does anybody, I mean, I don't understand what they think a pandemic is. What kind of definition are they looking forward to declare something a pandemic or not? I don't understand it, right? If I look it up here, is that the, I still got a rogue hamster.

I'm trying to be, I'm not sure if that was him or not. All right, if I look the word up, check it out. pandemic prevalent over a whole country or the world what what's the problem prevalent over a whole country or the world it's not prevalent all over the world does i mean what do they mean by that does it have to be in every country in the world prevalent all over the world come on we're living through a pandemic people are crazy well this could become a pandemic what the hell are you talking about boxes do we have to check before we say yeah it's pandemic yep sure uh-huh the cdc said you better get your ass in gear it's pandemic come on stop being silly stop being silly what are we doing here

by preserving the pandemic words so much do we have to be dying on our last legs here it is what it is okay it's all over the world it's spread from china china has serious problems they have to convince the world that they didn't screw up and infect everyone because that's exactly what happened it's exactly what happened you know my theory right somebody stumbled out of the lab in wuhan they didn't wash their hands they didn't wash their clothes they didn't change their boots i don't know what they didn't do but they didn't do it and then they went and they had a blast for the chinese new year or something to that effect and this virus started to spread it came from that lab A silly employee made a big mistake.

China found out about it. They shut everybody out. They quarantined as many people as they could in hopes that it wouldn't spread. And then they even had the WHO change the name of the virus so that it wouldn't be traced back to them. But listen, we have to remember where this thing came from and how this started because I really do believe it was a screw up by China. There's only one other theory for me, and it's darker than that.

But I have to believe that this was a script for China That is now affecting many nations And business around the world And the markets of the world Now do you think anybody's going to Do you think anybody's going to have a problem with that? Do you think Italy is going to be okay with We messed up big time in China?

Do you think they're going to be okay When they say to themselves, Oh, look at this. Yeah, tourist revenue is trash All of a sudden. All of the sudden, I mean, if you had a private jet pool up out front of your house right now, and they said one-way trip to Italy, you'd say, hell no, we won't go. That's what you would tell them.

There's 300-some cases there now, I think, right? No, we're not going to Italy. Forget about it. So what else does Italy got? What do they sell? Olive oil? What do they have? If they don't have tourism, what do they have?

Right? and they're looking over leery-eyed at China saying, what have they done to us? And there's going to be a lot of other places in this world. They're going to be looking at China the same way. China's in big trouble. I was listening to NPR today, and they were interviewing a lady who said that she was thinking

about moving her warehouses out of China now. This is not something I can sustain again. It's a very interesting year in 2020. And I would like to see Preppers stand at the top of this thing, at the forefront of this thing, like we always are. Right? Like we always are. Man, you just have no idea.

I'm not out of you to prove a point or to prove somebody wrong or to get back at National Geographic or anything like that. It really is just about, it really is about this fumbling of emergency preparedness that has been going on for 30 years in this nation, the threats are getting more and more dire and more and more people are realizing it and it's not moving the needle. It's not moving the needle.

You know, they should be running out of five-gallon buckets and rice in this country. People should be stacking food in every corner and every orifice of their home. Everyone should be, right? You watch Christian the Ice Age Farmer. If you don't watch Christian the Ice Age Farmer, I actually was recommended him from Bear Independent.

Another great YouTube channel. But I found out about him through watching Bear, and I just, you know, Christian has just got it, man. He had just, he is a master of finding the stories, putting them together and weaving them together in such a way, really. Just a master. The Ice Age Farmer, check him out. He's got a Patreon too, support him.

him too, right? You could probably support us both. You could probably support all three of us, Bear Independent, the Ice Age Farmer, and the Prepper Broadbicasting Network for less than five bucks a month. For less than five bucks a month, you take power away from CNN and give it to people like us who are giving you actual news and entertainment that is not biased, not telling you you're a racist pig, not telling you you're a worthless cog in the... Not telling you everything you believe is blasphemy. Just saying, you know, we're moving into an age where you have to stand up for what you believe in. And it's cliche, but we're reaching a time where you really have to now.

Do you understand what I'm saying? I did a podcast with Stephen Menking over it on the objective. Oh, Stephen Menking, by the way. quick side note Stephen Menking has for probably a year now at least given us some of the best

some of the best content that you can get about about God and this generation and our duties in this generation as Christian people every Sunday

like clockwork with his help over at Reliance. So Sunday we do our Reliance show, and I told you before it was born out of my desire to want to wake up on Sunday and have a little sermon to listen to while I drink coffee. It's very selfish. But it's become incredible.

It has become incredible. If you're not listening to Reliance on Sundays, you're missing out, man. It is the way to start the day. It really is. So I do that. And Stephen has been like clockwork, man. Great.

And not just like, let me phone one in for James real quick so he doesn't get upset with me or whatever. It doesn't bother me about it. Just the man is on fire with his faith. You know, and you have to appreciate it. I reached out to him last week, you know, because my original idea for Reliance was, let's get a bunch of different people to come in and talk about their faith, you know, and do that on Sundays, and it'll be great, and we'll get to hear all kinds of different opinions

and that type of thing. But Stephen has taken such a grip on this show that I contacted him last week, and I said, can you just be the host? Can you just be the host of Reliance? And if someone else decides they want to come on, then we can have a guest host that week. But you've owned this thing, man.

You've owned this thing. You've taken it to the stars. Reliance is incredible. And I thank you, Stephen. You've been awesome. But I was on his show on the objective. and we were talking about this in terms of Virginia, we were talking about how it's time to choose

about three core things that you really support and believe in and really support and believe in them. Right? It's not enough. It's not, you know, the 2000s, the early 2000s were bumper sticker and T-shirt time, right? It was like, let me get the snarky T and the snarky bumper sticker and I'm supporting.

I think those days are coming to an end. I think those days are cut. I think it's time for real support for what you believe, and it's time to join groups and meet with groups and meet with people and build communities so that when attacks happen in our Second Amendment, we can respond. When attacks happen, you know what I mean?

These things aren't going away. These things aren't going away. And I would love to see Preppers at the forefront of this. I just, you know, a lot of it has to do with the fact that you guys are some of the most intelligent, well-thought-out, strategic-thinking people that I know. I mean, when I talk to the real listeners of the Prepar Broadcasting Network, it's like most of the time I'm like, why am I doing my show?

Like, what am I even doing? Why am I doing this? These people who are emailing me should be doing this show. You know what I mean? That's what I feel like. I get hit with imposter syndrome. like crazy. It's like, man, these guys know so much. Why do they even listen to me? 34 years old. These guys got it all under control. But I'm telling you, there's so much power and so

much knowledge in prepping. It's unbelievable. But it will be tested in 2020. And you have to be prepared for the test. You have to be prepared to act. Because I think we're reaching. a point with all of these things coalescing. You know, we haven't even begun to see riots over Bernie Sanders not getting the nomination of being beat by Donald Trump. When Donald Trump wins again, if he wins again, it's going to be pandemonium in this nation. You have to understand that. Even if you're sitting there going, why would anyone vote for anyone other than Donald Trump?

Even if you're a dyed-in-the-wool supporter, you cannot forget that the media has spent four years telling the world that this is the worst man the greatest criminal of our time and many people have been affected by that many people have been affected by that and they are going to take action

if he gets four more years in office it's not going to be pretty the lead up the summer is not going to be pretty I can promise you that I don't know what else could happen aside from the election but it's just things are just so out of hand i would not put it i mean we we haven't really because of the virus we haven't really talked much about the locust takeover in africa the fact that the locusts in africa are eating all the food and that's going to come back to buy we don't know what spring holds

for the united states what if we have another spring where nobody's planting again 2020 we'll test you preppers i'm me you know joe blow at the coffee machine at work who uh you know is a is a week to week shopper and if he doesn't go to the market he doesn't have anything to eat that's a whole other story but i think us preppers will be tested this year i really do one of the things that i think we're going to be tested on is our ability to to create a new frame and set for touching base with people. A new set and frame for communicating who and what we are. Really? I do think that. Because I think after this pandemic, we're going to have a new class of preppers. But I think it's time again for preppers

to go on the offensive. I do. For the longest time, we've all agreed on the same thing. The more people who prep, the better off will be. It's time to go on the offensive, I think. For a long time, I've said, this. Wear it like a badge of honor. Don't hide it. I know you think that in the fantasy apocalyptic world that if you tell Joe blow it the coffee machine that you're a prepper, that he's going to, when all of it goes to hell, the first thing he's going to think is, oh, I remember that that guy told me that he was a prepper, so maybe I'll go to his house. First of all, does he know you well enough to know where you live even? And even if he knows you well enough to know where you live do you think you're going to be the first thing on his mind

when all hell breaks loose no in most cases these people aren't even going to think of you as long as you don't go around every day rubbing it in people's faces you know but if you have a sit down with people at a time like this and say you know this is why i do what i do and you don't have to do any more than that well what do you do we prepare we prepare for disasters we're we're We are devoted to emergency preparedness. We are not going to be caught with our pants down in an emergency. And leave it at that. But I think it's time for the preparers to come out of the woodwork.

I really do. I really do. I think the obsec thing has got to go. Is it risky? Shorts risky. Life is risky. Take risks. If you're not taking risks, you're probably going to slit your wrists.

How's that for a T-shirt? Because you'll be bored to death. Can I catch my breath for a minute? What do we want to go from here? Where do we want to go from here? I want to talk about... I did want to do a little segment, a reality check, if you will, a la Michael Klein,

based on the Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fight. Because to watch Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury, do you know who they are? Boxers, heavyweight. To watch those... Giants fight is to remind yourself of the threats in the world is to remind yourself of your vulnerability. I think for the most part, we are too inundated with hero movies and action movies. and we see fantastic things happen in these movies that just don't happen in real life.

And when you see a guy like Deonté Wilder who has a ballistic missile for a right hand, and you see Tyson Fury who's, I think he's 6'9, I mean, Tyson Fury is 6'9, and he's got better footwork than probably everybody I've ever sparred with in my life. right not to say that i've had this great resume of sparring with people but i sparred with mma fighters at an mma gym near my home and these guys were young they were fast and they were and they were uh light you know so this guy is six foot nine and you when you watch a move it's just unbelievable to watch a move but it's a constant reminder that uh those people are out there right you get you get in your quote-unquote kit i hear people say that all the time i wear my kit like what what kind of

okay that's fine you got your kit on you get in your kit and you feel like you're ready to take on the world right we watch batman we see him be we watch iron man there are realities of combat that i think most people don't really understand and one of them is that uh you know we saw hoist gracie he He may have done more harm than good, but we saw horse hoist gracey choke guys out, bigger guys than him, and he ignited the world when it came to Jiu-Jitsu, right? People were like, oh, I got to learn what he knows because he was tackling these guys and choking these big guys out. Okay. I get that.

I get Jiu-Jitsu. I did that, too. Look, if I had more money, I'd be doing it right now, but it's expensive to be quite fine. frank on top of everything else so it's not something that i do but i'll probably do it again they'll probably come a time in my life where i do it again because it's fun jiu jitutes use a lot of fun you know i never wrestled boys growing up never did it i didn't have one friend that was like hey you want to wrestle yeah let's wrestle so wrestling was new to me new to me at 27 or whenever i started in there 28 i think it was new to me was like wow look at this

this doesn't even make any sense. This is great fun. And you have a lot of fun doing it. And I'll probably do it again, like I said. But, you know, what do you say? I've done Jiu-Jitsu with big guys, and I've been flattened by them. Hoyce Gracie was from one of the greatest family. Hoyce-Gracy was probably from the most important...

No, he was from the most important family to fight. ever then probably the most important family to fighting that will ever exist but I don't want to go into the history of the graces I just want to make out the point that if you're taking jiu-jitsu and you're doing really good and you're really physically fit and you run into a guy who can box and he's six foot nine he's going to beat you He's going to beat you up a lot. You know what I'm saying? It's just going to happen.

You know, and if, and the likelihood that you're going to run into this guy and he'll be alone is a whole other thing. Right? Like, you're not going to meet face to face in an alley and he's going to say, hey, we're going to fight now. He's probably going to have two guys with him. And I'll tell you what, man, I don't know about Jiu Jitsu with two, three guys. Jiu Jitsu is awesome. there is no better way well I don't know about that

there's no safer way to learn how to manipulate another human's joints body inertia the whole nine yards than jujitsu you know you don't take damage you don't have to go through the rigors of high school wrestling you show up you do some shrimps you do some stretches

you watch the instructor show your technique and then you you have fun with your buddies it's a good time. It's an exhausting time, but it's a good time. You know, maybe you tap a couple guys. You feel like a rock star. You're going to get tapped a lot, though.

But anyway, it's all fun in games when it's you and another guy. And you know 100%, nobody's going to come kick me in the head while I'm trying to lock this arm bar up. Nobody's going to come stab me in the side while I'm trying to, you know, Dars choke this guy. there are realities when it comes to when it comes to combat and fighting in real life in real life situations without a referee

when it's not just a one-on-one opponent and if why am I going into this because we need this reality check because things are going to be crazy in 2020 because people are going to run into crazy situations because people are going to take stands you know and it's just important

important to understand that we're a very vulnerable, we're a very vulnerable little species on this rock. You know what I mean? You really are very vulnerable. And it is what it is. I'm not saying you shouldn't be taking jujitsu if you are. It's awesome. It's absolutely awesome. It's a great time. It just shatters aggression. And you really do learn how to move people bigger than you. You learn how to hand. them you know for for a time depending on how good they are you know it's like you can fight them off for a certain amount of time and that's good but if they're big really big even if you're pretty good man and if they can punch you know that's the other secret about jiu jitsu right as like i'll just lock my guard up with this guy and i'll just you know let him struggle till he gets a little tired and

then start to do my thing that doesn't work that way and that an alley, right? In an alley, you're going to lock a guy up in his guard. He's going to start elbowing you in the forehead, punching you, right? Bite you maybe, you never know. You just have to be aware of the realities of combat when it comes to that. When I watched the fight, that was the big thing. It was like, oh, so, so there's no way I run into a Tyson Fury and have any chance at all. You're not going to punch the guy. You're not going to kick the guy. You're not going to kick the guy. You're not going to take them down. You know what I mean? I mean, that's just what is what it is. That's the reality. So you've got to plan for those things. You got to go plan for

those things. And that's why so many people are hell bent on having more than one person, right? Having prepper groups and that type of thing. Because it's called overwhelming force. And that's what a guy like that is if you run into one. You run into a guy like that when all hell is broken loose. It's called overwhelming force and you're unprepared for. for it right i know you think everybody thinks they're going to draw their weapon and shoot somebody right i mean yeah maybe maybe i mean but if you're dealing with someone who wants what you have the good it's a good chance they're not going to tell you about it across the street right when they're when when they're at 10 yards 20 yards hey i'm going to come beat you up now no chances are they're going to round the corner right in

your face and give you no space and no room to reach back there and get your gun and they're going to start pummeling and maybe two of their buddies are going to while they're at it so you know not to scare you not to terrify you just to let you know it's a mad mad mad world out there and i think 2020 is going to be uh well it's only going to get more mad or mad or mad all right i want you to understand that though i think most people who train jihitsu are probably hypercritical of themselves anyway, right? It's kind of one of those things. You really can't spend your time

covered in another sweaty man. And not be... I'm getting tapped out constantly, right? I mean, because for most people who go to jiu-jitsu class, you get tapped constantly. I mean, just what it is. It's just that thing.

You know, like, I would go, and if I left having tapped someone, it was like, oh, cool. If I left having dominated a position, then it was just, I didn't even really feel good about that. I just felt like, well, I was that guy's second class. He doesn't know what he's doing yet. Give him a couple weeks to be tapping me. Because it's like that.

It's like that, you know. So combatives are important. Combatives are important, but also retreat's pretty damn important too. You know, retreat can be a lifesaver. What are we talking about before I went into? to the Deontay Tyson Fury, amazing, well, you know, it is what it is. When you watch Titans fight like that, it's a special thing. You know, it's a special thing when you see giants go to war like that.

And, you know, it's just important to recognize those moments in life. Sit back, watch a fight. You have all kinds of epiphanies, right? That's what the dynamic lifestyle is all about. The I Am Liberty Show is built on those four pillars, right? It's strong communities, healthy Americans, dynamic lifestyles and self-reliance. That is what makes up, that is what makes this show go. You know, and speaking of strong communities, it may be time for a community talk.

It may be time for you to reach out to community leaders to allies in your community, that type of thing. And start discussing what the CDC said. You no longer have to hide it in your concerns. have to say, you know, I think being a prepper, I think that then everybody goes, shut up, dude. You know, you could say, the CDC says we need to be ready for severe disruptions in our lifestyle. So what does that look like? What does that look like at our community level? What if the community or the neighborhood adjacent to ours is not happy about disruptions in their lifestyle? And maybe that's a low-income neighborhood with people who are got nothing but bad.

ideas right these things we have to be ready for I know you don't want to reach out to people and that type of thing but listen it's something we may have to do it's probably worth doing I said five big conversations you want us have with people for the coronavirus I released that on Patreon I'm gonna release that on YouTube soon so stay tuned for that but I didn't include community in neighborhood and that might be something I have to add, you know. All right, guys, the election preparedness campaign this week is about community.

It is about just that topic, so that should be going out tomorrow. What else we got going on? The release of Bunker Beans. What are Bunker Beans? You want me to go into it? We're running out of time. Anyway, I'm going to get out of here soon. I don't know how long I've been recording. Let's have a look.

Oh, yeah, we're right around the now. That's all you do my best work at an hour. I got a little too, uh, I got a little too crazy and started doing two hours. And you know what? Two hours, 11 o'clock at night, I'm just too exhausted for it's not working. What are bunker beans? Okay, we're talking about resource shortages. We're talking about food shortages. We're talking about systems being affected by coronavirus. Don't let coffee be affected. you don't have to anymore. Because of our company, disaster coffee, we have access to a roasting company.

That's why disaster coffee is so outstanding, right? Because I don't touch it. It goes from roaster to your house. Delicious. It changed my life. Disaster coffee has changed my... I drink regular coffee out of the 7-Eleven, and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's why it's a dollar.

You could just taste the difference. I'm a chef. Taste is big, you know? So, because I have access to the roaster, I said to myself, after talking to one of our great patrons when Parkinson, about green coffee beans in a long-term food storage situation, I came to the idea that, oh, I got to get preppers. I got to get preppers their green coffee beans so they can store them in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers

for 10 to 15 to 20 years. years, you pull them green coffee beans out, you roast them yourself outside, because the fumes can be irritating, you roast them yourself, and then you have your own coffee. And that coffee can be roasted after year five or after year 20 if you store them properly, right? That's a solution to coffee. A solution to coffee is not, I'm going to buy a bunch of coffee and sit it in the sit it in the cabin until it's stale and tastes like sawdust. No thank you. No thank you.

See, what you don't know is the roasting process is what brings out the caffeine. I didn't know that. The chemical reaction during the roasting process actually caffeinates the beans. There's no caffeine in them when they're green. Coffee's an amazing thing, really is. But Bunker Beans are just that. It's a five-pound bag. No frills.

It comes in a Ziploc bag straight from the roaster. Five pound bag of green coffee beans. Raw, unprocessed coffee beans. Okay? You can store them long term. They can become part of your food storage plan, your barter plan, whatever you like. All right, you can get them at disastercoffee.com. You can get them now at disastercaffee.com.

And I'd recommend you do so. I'm sitting here looking at a five-pound bag myself right now. Right now, a five-pound bag of green coffee beans that in this Ziploc bag, they'll probably last longer than they'll be around, because I'm going to try to roast them up and see what it's all about. It's the breakfast blend. That's what we're offering, right? It's the breakfast blend of coffee.

That's what it is. Five pounds. It's a flat price, 30 bucks, no shipping. Right? So six bucks a pound for the. those green coffee beans. Without shipping, it's the best deal you're going to find if you want to store green coffee beans.

You're not going to find anything better with no shipping, I can almost promise you. You're going to be able to find a better price per pound, but you're going to have to buy about 60 pounds, 65 pounds, okay? So, bunker beans, go to disaster coffee.com and start building your long-term coffee storage plan. Please, don't give it up, right? Don't give it up. You're going to need an edge.

Right? You're going to want an edge. And caffeine gives us all that edge. Just imagine what a force you will be if everyone else is dying for that cup of coffee and you got it. Right? So the other thing I want to do, the other thing I want to do in regards to disaster coffee is I want to create a new flavor. I want to create a new flavor or a new coffee in general, right? So I'd love to get your ideas on that.

We'll probably run a little something, a little campaign or something to that effect. I'm ready to add another one, maybe another single origin, another robust coffee. Or maybe we'll do a six bean or something to that effect. I don't know. I don't know.

With disaster coffee, there's so much potential, you know. It's really no sweat off my back to add as many coffees as we want from as many different places as we want. We can have, we could have like 20 flavor. if we really wanted. You know, we could make a PBN flavor. We could make an I Am Liberty flavor. We could make an EF5, which I would like to do.

You know, we could start naming them after certain organizations. All that. All of it. We could do it all with disaster coffee. What else? Patreon.com slash PBN, please come visit us over at Patreon. It makes a world a difference.

Like I said, the best birthday gift I got from the prepper broadcasting network fellowship had to be ben the breaker of the banksers hitting me with his with his two dollar patreon sign up two dollars for the man right every month he's going to have two dollars get sucked out of his bank account and he's going to go huh what happened what was that right no big deal two bucks it's nothing it's like six cents every day or something like i don't know pocket change come on pocket change two dollars You probably give it off to the homeless. Give it to me.

No, it makes the world difference, guys. We pay the bills and we keep this thing solving. And I hope to one day get as met enough patrons out there that we can start really paying some people to upkeep the website at the highest level and book guests and organize things for me a little better in the whole nine yards. You know, it's all possible.

This network, This Web Network has a lot of room for growth, man. A lot. You know, we could start video. We could be doing video shows with guests and the... You have no idea. There are no limits to the Intrepid Commander's Dreams. I can tell you that much.

That's the deal. Yeah, I think that's it. Patreon.com slash PBN. If you want to boost, I'll give you this just, this little tip in terms of disaster coffee. But if you want to boost of positivity in your life, come follow at disaster.comfi at Instagram. I got contact with you guys anyway,

so I'm not trying to get you over there to sell you more coffee, right? Oh, by the way, over at Patreon, I started a tier. This might attract some of you who aren't too sure about Patreon. I started a tier over at Patreon that is essentially a coffee.

subscription. It's called the coffee cash. It's 30 bucks per month. You support the network and you get coffee delivered regularly every month. Go check it out. Patreon.com slash PBN. I forgot all about that. A new tier. Yeah, it's for the coffee lovers. All right. It's the most expensive tier we have, but that's because it adds the cost of coffee sent to you each. I think it's biweekly. buy a weekly 12 ounce bag of coffee plus support for the network it's big it's definitely big but i think that's it folks i think that's it for the i'm liberty show i'll just keep rambling on and keep marketing to you if i don't stop listen the coronavirus is here and it's sticking around and it's going to be around and you're going to be okay because you're ready for it you're prepared for it

all right now is the time to prepare your creature comforts to make it easy try to make it easy on yourself right you've set a base level of preparedness you know what to do if you don't know what to do you need to reach out to us right you need to reach out to us um but it's going to be here and we're all going to be tested in 2020 and the goal is very simple i want to be here in december and i want to have a list of accomplishments that preppers and accomplishments, achievements, whatever it is that preppers have provided our society with through this rough year.

Solutions, products, services, podcasts, articles, whatever it is. How has the preppers shaped this radical year of 2020? Listen, we are entering a new era for the I Am Liberty Show. This has been on the back burner this show for a while. For a while I've been getting up here and trying my best not to make this a prepper broadcasting network infomercial. Okay. And for those of you who love the I Am Liberty Show, we are creating a new focus here.

Okay? We are getting back to the I Am Liberty Show as it was. We're getting back to having fun and really yacking. And I've got a new tagline for the I and Liberty Show. All things in moderation. Because we discuss all things. But that said, I'm out of here, folks. All right, check out the new logo.

Like I said, we're going to get a... We might bring back the old I.M. Liberty intro, the whole thing. All right, it's time to focus on this show again now that the Prepper Broadcasting Network is a full steam ahead monolith. All right. And that's because of you. And that's because of you great patrons, too. All right. We'll talk soon.
